Abstract

The invention relates to a technology for preparing a film solar battery, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a copper-zinc-tin-sulfur light absorbing layer. The method for preparing the copper-zinc-tin-sulfur light absorbing layer comprises the following steps of: (1) mixing copper, zinc, tin and sulfur simple substances in a stoichiometric ratio, adding a dispersant into the mixture, fully mixing, and then performing ball milling to obtain a uniformly and stably dispersed copper-zinc-tin-sulfur (CZTS) nano-ink, wherein the mole ratio of Cu atoms to Zn atoms to Sn atoms to S atoms is (1.8-2):(1-1.3):(0.7-1):4, and the mole ratio of the dispersant to the CZTS is (1-1,000):1; (2) coating the CZTS nano-ink on a substrate, and drying in an air atmosphere to remove the dispersant to obtain a CZTS precursor film; and (3) vulcanizing the CZTS precursor film in an inert atmosphere (nitrogen or argon gas atmosphere) to obtain a CZTS light absorbing layer of a solar battery. According to the method for preparing the CZTS light absorbing layer, the equipment structure is simple, the operation is easy, the production efficiency is high, the problems of cost and environmental pollution are fundamentally solved, and a new train of thought for large-scale industrialization of CZTS-based film solar batteries is widened.

Description

[0001] technical field [0002] The present invention relates to the preparation method of thin-film solar cell in the field of new energy, in particular to copper zinc tin sulfur (Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 , abbreviated as CZTS) light absorbing layer preparation method. [0003] Background technique [0004] Energy shortage and environmental pollution are major issues facing the 21st century. The development of clean and environmentally friendly new energy to replace traditional fossil energy has become one of the effective scientific ways to solve these problems. Among them, as an inexhaustible, inexhaustible, environmentally friendly and pollution-free renewable energy, solar energy is ubiquitous, making solar photovoltaic power generation an important part of the development of new energy. At present, silicon solar cells, the most mature technology in the market, are limited in their development as the most ideal solar cell materials due to the characteristics of high pollution,...
