Problems solved by technology

The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery prepared by the co-evaporation method is the highest, but this method is expensive, the process is complicated, and the large-area uniformity is poor, so it is not suitable for the preparation of large-area batteries.
The film prepared by the CIG metal prefabricated film selenization method has poor surface flatness and uneven distribution of components, and the selenization reaction needs to be carried out in the presence of toxic H 2 In Se atmosphere
In order to obtain large-area and high-quality CIGS thin films, the method of annealing after sputtering of quaternary CIGS targets is widely used. In order to suppress the loss of Se during the annealing process, the reaction needs to 2 Se atmosphere, so as to obtain CuInGaSe thin film with ideal composition, but H 2 The use of Se gas limits the application of this method
h 2 Se is a flammable and highly toxic gas, and the cost is high. The storage and operation of the gas need to be strictly restricted, which hinders the practical application of this process method.
