Impact of the Stack Order in Cu-Zn-Sn Metal Precursors on the Properties of Cu2ZnSnS4 Thin Films

Conference Abusnina, Mohamed ; Matin, Mohammad ; Moutinho, Helio ; ...

Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films were grown by the annealing of metallic precursors with different stack orders in sulfur atmosphere. The sequential deposition of the metal layers from single Cu, Zn, and Sn targets on Mo-coated soda-lime glass substrates was carried out using radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. In this work, we investigated the effect of the sequence of metal layers on the chemical, structural, and morphological properties of the final CZTS films using X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman scattering spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. The realized stack sequences were Mo/Sn/Zn/Cu, Mo/Sn/Cu/Zn, Mo/Cu/Zn/Sn, Mo/Cu/Sn/Zn, and Mo/Zn/Cu/Sn. XRF measurements revealedmore »« less

Synthesis of CZTS/Se and Their Solid Solution from Electrodeposited Cu–Sn–Zn Metal Precursor: A Study of S and Se Replacement Reaction

Journal Article Singh, Ashish K. ; Aggarwal, Garima ; Singh, Rajiv Kumar ; ... - ACS Applied Energy Materials

Selenization, sulfurization, and sulfo-selenization of electrodeposited metal precursor (Cu-Sn-Zn) at high temperature (500-600 °C) in S, Se, or S + Se (mixed) atmospheres are used to understand the thermodynamics of chalcogenide incorporation reaction. Phase-pure CZTSe and CZTS were obtained after annealing at 500 degrees C for 1 min in Se (selenization) and 600 degrees C for 10 min in S (sulfurization) atmospheres, respectively. CZTSSe solid solutions are synthesized by the sequential annealing of metal precursors in S and Se atmosphere separately or in the mixed (S + Se) atmosphere. In the S-rich mixed atmosphere, S-rich CZTSSe solid solution is formedmore »« less

The role of interparticle heterogeneities in the selenization pathway of Cu-Zn-Sn-S nanoparticle thin films: A real-time study

Journal Article Carter, Nathaniel J. ; Mainz, Roland ; Walker, Bryce C. ; ... - Journal of Materials Chemistry C

Real-time energy dispersive x-ray diffraction (EDXRD) analysis has been utilized to observe the selenization of Cu-Zn-Sn-S nanoparticle films coated from three nanoparticle populations: Cu- and Sn-rich particles roughly 5 nm in size, Zn-rich nanoparticles ranging from 10 to 20 nm in diameter, and a mixture of both types of nanoparticles (roughly 1:1 by mass), which corresponds to a synthesis recipe yielding CZTSSe solar cells with reported total-area efficiencies as high as 7.9%. The EDXRD studies presented herein show that the formation of copper selenide intermediates during the selenization of mixed-particle films can be primarily attributed to the small, Cu- andmore »« less
