Problems solved by technology

Electrodeposition is carried out in aqueous solution. Since the electrochemical stability window of water is relatively small, it is difficult to provide a large cathode overpotential during multi-element co-deposition. When the deposition potential is too negative, hydrogen evolution reaction is easy to occur, resulting in many pores in the deposited film. Inhomogeneity, the composition of the film deviates from the stoichiometric ratio, and the quality of the film is poor, which seriously hinders the conversion efficiency of solar cells

Abstract

The invention discloses a sulfide annealing copper indium gallium sulfur solar cell thin film material preparation method after double-potential step method electrodeposition. The method comprises the steps that copper and gallium metal salt is used as a main raw material; the main raw material is dissolved in an ionic liquid at a certain concentration; a copper gallium precursor thin film is prepared on ITO conductive glass through double-potential cycle step method electrodeposition; sulfide annealing is carried out on the precursor thin film; in the annealing process, indium in the ITO conductive layer diffuses into the thin film; and finally a copper indium gallium sulfur thin film is generated. Compared with a traditional constant potential deposition technology, the method provided by the invention has the advantages that by controlling double potential pulse potential, controllable preparation of the crystalline phase, the composition, the morphology and the like of the thin film can be realized; pore structures are reduced; the thin film morphology is improved; the plating rate is improved; and hydrogen evolution reaction does not produce any adverse effect on the thin film in the deposition process. Compared with a high-vacuum vapor phase method, the method provided by the invention has the advantages of good film quality, low cost, high controllability and the like.
