Problems solved by technology

At present, the highest efficiency of CZTS-based solar cells can reach 12.7%, but according to theoretical calculations, the limit conversion efficiency of single-junction CZTS thin-film cells can reach 30%, which is quite different, even compared with the current highest conversion efficiency of CIGS of 21.7%. , there is also a big difference
This shows that the efficiency of CZTS thin-film batteries still has a very large room for improvement; at the same time, compared with binary and ternary compound semiconductors, CZTS and other quaternary compound semiconductors have more complex physical properties due to the increase in constituent elements, making them The preparation and performance optimization of quaternary compound high-efficiency thin-film batteries have become more difficult; at the same time, the thermodynamically

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor photoelectric materials and devices and discloses a micron-sized spherical copper-zinc-tin-sulfur monocrystal particle preparation method. The method includes: grinding and mixing different combinations of metal powder, sulfides, elemental sulfur powder, fluxing agents, copper-zinc-tin-sulfur nano particles and the like according to designed proportions, packaging mixed powder in a quartz reaction vessel in a vacuum manner, keeping the quartz reaction vessel at the temperature of 750-1000 DEG C for 48-120h, and quickly cooling the quartz reaction vessel to the room temperature; taking out a sample, and washing and drying to obtain copper-zinc-tin-sulfur monocrystal particles; the prepared monocrystal particles are adjustable in size by means of recrystallization temperature and time, and ingredients of the particles can be effectively regulated within a certain range through a molar ratio of elements in a precursor. The prepared monocrystal particles are uniform in ingredient and controllable in size so as to be superior to those prepared according to traditional methods.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor optoelectronic materials and devices, more specifically, to a method for preparing micron-sized spherical copper-zinc-tin-sulfur single crystal particles. Background technique [0002] Multi-component CuInGaSe 2 (CIGS) thin-film solar cell has high conversion efficiency and is easy to mass-produce. It has become the most promising solar cell material at present. At present, CIGS cell is the thin-film solar cell with the highest photoelectric conversion efficiency in the world, and its highest conversion efficiency has been up to 21.7%. However, its constituent elements In and Ga are scarce on the earth, making it difficult for CIGS thin-film batteries to achieve TW (10 9 kW) level of large-scale applications. [0003] Copper-zinc-tin-sulfur (CZTS) quaternary compound semiconductors are considered to be the most promising alternatives to Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 Novel compound semiconductors for the...
