Abstract

The application discloses a preparation method of a germanium-doped CZTS thin film. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing a CuS nano-particle; preparing a Ge-doped precursor slurry; preparing Ge-doped precursor film; carrying out sulfidizing on the Ge-doped precursor film to obtain a Cu2ZnSn1-xGexS4 film; and carrying out selenylation processing on the Cu2ZnSn1-xGexS4 film to obtain Cu2ZnSn1-xGex(S,Se)4 film. In addition, the application also discloses a germanium-doped CZTS thin film and a solar cell. According to the invention, because the Cus nano-particle is used, grain crystal growing and film densifying can be promoted; the Ge is doped when the precursor slurry is prepared, so that the forbidden band width of the CZTS thin film can be adjusted and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the CZTS cell can be improved; because an organic solvent like methyl alcohol or ethanol and the like is used, the sulfur source used for sulfidizing processing is solid powdered sulfur, and the selenium source used for selenizing processing is solid selenium powder, the whole production process is environmentally friendly; and a volume expansion effect using a Se atom portion to replace an S atom during the selenizing process is used for structural densifying of the film, and the forbidden band width of the CZTS absorption layer is adjusted, so that matching with a solar spectrum is realized well.
