Title: Sulvanite (Cu₃VS₄) nanocrystals for printable thin film photovoltaics

Abstract

Copper Vanadium Sulfide (Cu₃VS₄), also known as sulvanite, has recently emerged as a suitable absorber material for thin film photovoltaics. The synthesis of Cu₃VS₄ nanocrystals via a rapid solvothermal route is reported for the first time. The phase purity of the Cu₃VS₄ nanocrystals has been confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy, while the nanoparticle size, of about 10 nm, was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Successful ligand exchange with sulfide, an inorganic ligand, demonstrated that the nanoparticles are amenable to surface modifications, key element in solution processing. Further annealing of as-synthesized nanocrystals under a sulfur/argon atmosphere at 600 °C, rendered highly crystalline Cu₃VS₄ powders exhibiting an impurity that could be potentially mitigated by annealing temperature optimization. Furthermore, Cu₃VS₄, formed solely from Earth-abundant elements, could provide an inexpensive, reliable approach to fabricating solution processed thin film photovoltaic absorbers.

A rapid molecular precursor solid-state route to crystalline Fe₂GeS₄ nanoparticles

Journal Article Hwang, Po-Yu ; Berg, Dominik M. ; Liu, Mimi ; ... - Materials Letters

Iron germanium sulfide (Fe₂GeS₄) recently emerged as a potential thin film solar photovoltaic absorber. The introduction of the third element—germanium (Ge)—viewed as a solution for overcoming multiple barriers of a photovoltaic pyrite, confers stability to Fe₂GeS₄ at elevated temperatures, typically required for accomplishing grain growth in Gen 2 thin film PV. A facile synthesis of Fe₂GeS₄ nanoparticles from molecular precursors, comprising mechanical mixing of starting materials followed by a two-hour annealing in a sulfur-rich atmosphere is presented herein. Further processing of the resulting Fe₂GeS₄ nanopowders at elevated temperatures demonstrates high thermal stability of Fe₂GeS₄ (up to 500 °C), in comparisonmore »« less

The promise of solution-processed Fe₂GeS₄ thin films in iron chalcogenide photovoltaics

Journal Article Liu, Mimi ; Berg, Dominik M. ; Hwang, Po-Yu ; ... - Journal of Materials Science

The olivine Fe₂GeS₄, featuring non-toxic elements, cost-effective synthesis, and suitable optoelectronic properties, recently emerged as a promising light-absorbing candidate. Fe₂GeS₄ precursor powders obtained via a simple solution-based process were converted to highly crystalline Fe₂GeS₄ powders upon a thermal treatment in controlled atmosphere. Thin films fabricated by dip coating in the Fe₂GeS₄ precursor dispersion and subjected to the same thermal treatment render high-purity Fe₂GeS₄ thin films with a band gap of 1.4 eV, measured by room-temperature photoluminescence. Using Fe₂GeS₄ thin films as the sole absorber in a solution-based solar cell, open-circuit voltages of 361 mV are observed, while the use ofmore »« less

Design of Lead Telluride Based Thermoelectric Materials through Incorporation of Lead Sulfide Inclusions or Ligand Stripping of Nanosized Building Blocks

Journal Article James, Derak ; Lu, Xu ; Nguyen, Alexander Chi ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

Design of thermoelectric materials focuses on the optimization of several unfavorably coupled factors: electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity. Recent work in thermoelectrics has focused on decreasing lattice thermal conductivity by nanostructuring thermoelectric materials, while recent work in photovoltaics has demonstrated ligand stripping as a means to increased electron mobility in thin films of nanoparticles. In the present work, these two features are combined. A multigram scale synthesis of dispersible, lead telluride nanocrystals (25–50 nm) is developed using hot-injection methods in common organic solvents. These nanocrystals (NCs) are ligand stripped with sulfide (PbTe-S) or iodide (PbTe-I) sources to resultmore »« less

Low-temperature atomic layer deposition of CuSbS₂ for thin-film photovoltaics

Journal Article Riha, Shannon C. ; Koegel, Alexandra A. ; Emery, Jonathan D. ; ... - ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces

Copper antimony sulfide (CuSbS₂) has been gaining traction as an earth-abundant absorber for thin-film photovoltaics given its near ideal band gap for solar energy conversion (~1.5 eV), large absorption coefficient (>10⁴ cm^–1), and elemental abundance. Through careful in situ analysis of the deposition conditions, a low-temperature route to CuSbS₂ thin films via atomic layer deposition has been developed. After a short (15 min) post process anneal at 225 °C, the ALD-grown CuSbS₂ films were crystalline with micron-sized grains, exhibited a band gap of 1.6 eV and an absorption coefficient >10⁴ cm^–1, as well as a hole concentration of 10¹⁵ cm^–3.more »« less

Intense pulsed light annealing of copper zinc tin sulfide nanocrystal coatings

Journal Article Williams, Bryce A. ; Smeaton, Michelle A. ; Holgate, Collin S. ; ... - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology. A, Vacuum, Surfaces and Films

A promising method for forming the absorber layer in copper zinc tin sulfide [Cu{sub 2}ZnSnS{sub 4} (CZTS)] thin film solar cells is thermal annealing of coatings cast from dispersions of CZTS nanocrystals. Intense pulsed light (IPL) annealing utilizing xenon flash lamps is a potential high-throughput, low-cost, roll-to-roll manufacturing compatible alternative to thermal annealing in conventional furnaces. The authors studied the effects of flash energy density (3.9–11.6 J/cm{sup 2}) and number of flashes (1–400) during IPL annealing on the microstructure of CZTS nanocrystal coatings cast on molybdenum-coated soda lime glass substrates (Mo-coated SLG). The annealed coatings exhibited cracks with two distinct linearmore »« less
