Wide Band Gap CuGa(S,Se) ₂ Thin Films on Transparent Conductive Fluorinated Tin Oxide Substrates as Photocathode Candidates for Tandem Water Splitting Devices

Wide Band Gap CuGa(S,Se)₂ Thin Films on Transparent Conductive Fluorinated Tin Oxide Substrates as Photocathode Candidates for Tandem Water Splitting Devices

Journal Article DeAngelis, Alexander D. ; Horsley, Kimberly ; Gaillard, Nicolas - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

Theaim of this report was to explore the potential of CuGa(S,Se)2 thin films as wide-E_G top cell absorbers for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. A synthesis was developed on fluorinated tin oxide (FTO) photocathodes by converting copper-rich co-evaporated CuGaSe2 into CuGa(S,Se)2 via a post-deposition annealing. We found it necessary to first anneal CuGaSe2 at low-temperature in sulfur then at high-temperature in nitrogen to preserve the transparency and conductivity of the FTO. Using this two-step synthesis, we fabricated a 1.72eV CuGa(S,Se)₂photocathode with a saturation current density and photocurrent onset potential of 10mA/cm² and -0.20V vs. RHE, respectively. Yet we found thatmore »« less

Performance and limits of 2.0 eV bandgap CuInGaS ₂ solar absorber integrated with CdS buffer on F:SnO ₂ substrate for multijunction photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical water splitting devices

Journal Article Gaillard, Nicolas ; Septina, Wilman ; Varley, Joel ; ... - Materials Advances

We report on the electrical properties of 2.0 eV bandgap (E_G) CuInGaS₂ (CIGS) solar absorbers integrated on SnO₂:F (FTO) substrates and interfaced with CdS buffer layers for multijunction solar cells and photoelectrochemical water splitting devices. The averaged short-circuit photocurrent density measured on nine ITO/ZnO/CdS/CIGS/FTO cells was 10.0 mA cm^-2, a value corresponding to 70% of the optical limit for a 2.0 eV-bandgap absorber. However, the averaged power conversion efficiency was low (avg.: 2.4%) and for the most part limited by modest open circuit voltage values (avg.: 587 mV). Solid-state analyses performed at low temperatures revealed poor energetic alignment at themore »« less

Wide Band Gap Chalcopyrite Photoelectrodes for Direct Water Splitting (Final Technical Report)

Technical Report Gaillard, Nicolas

The chalcopyrite material class, typically identified by its most popular alloy CuInGaSe₂, provides exceptionally good candidates for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting and has the potential to meet DoE EERE’s targets in terms of hydrogen production costs (less than $2/gge). Some key advantages of this class include remarkable photon-to-electron conversion efficiency and a high Faradaic efficiency for the hydrogen evolution reaction, two characteristics essential for efficient PEC water splitting. However, the band gaps of commonly used chalcopyrites in the photovoltaic field (1.0-1.6 eV) are too narrow to be compatible with the multi-junction approach for efficient PEC hydrogen production, in which amore »« less
