Implementation of Na diffusion layer at Cu2ZnSnSe4/Mo interface for flexible thin film solar cell fabricated on Ti foil by solid state selenization
2020
Abstract A Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) photovoltaic absorber thin films were prepared using a 2-step selenization process on a Ti substrate including a Na precursor layer and a Na-free Ti substrate, and the effect of Na on the solar cell performance was compared. A CZTSe flexible solar cell fabricated on a Ti foil substrate exhibited an efficiency of 3.06%, which was less than half that of a solar cell fabricated on a soda lime glass substrate. This was attributed to the absence of Na and severe Zn crowding near the back contact. By depositing a 100‐nm-thick sodalime glass thin film on a Ti substrate to supply Na, the efficiency increased up to 5.59%. In the Na-doped CZTSe absorber layer grown on the Ti substrate, the back crowding of Zn was eliminated and the upper part of the absorption layer was converted to a Zn-rich environment, which prevented the formation of CuZn antisite defects.
