Problems solved by technology

[0004] Currently Cu 2 FeSnS 4 The preparation of absorbing layer materials is mainly divided into vacuum technology (thermal evaporation, magnetron sputtering, etc.) and non-vacuum technology (solution method, electrodeposition method, etc.). Although vacuum technology has good film quality, the equipment required is expensive. and complex, making mass production difficult

Abstract

The invention discloses a low-cost copper-iron-tin-sulfur film with a stannite structure for a photovoltaic cell and an electrochemical preparation method of the copper-iron-tin-sulfur film. The method comprises the following steps of respectively preparing three metal salt solutions of Cu, Sn and Fe in a molar ratio; performing potentiostatic electrodeposition on three metal stacks of Cu, Sn andFe on an Mo substrate in sequence by adopting a three-electrode system; taking high-purity nitrogen as a protective gas, and performing annealing pretreatment on the metal stacks at 150 to 300 DEG C;and finally, taking the nitrogen as the protective gas and powdered sulfur as a sulfur source, and performing vulcanization annealing on a copper-iron-tin film at 500 to 600 DEG C in order to obtain the Cu2FeSnS4 film with the stannite structure. According to the preparation method, the deposition time and the deposition potential of each layer of metal film can be accurately controlled, and the composition ratio, the grain size, the thickness and the morphology of the Cu2FeSnS4 film are independently controllable. The method is short in reaction time, low in deposition temperature, easy to operate, low in preparation cost, green and pollution-free. The method is suitable for mass production of the Cu2FeSnS4 films for absorption layers of the photovoltaic cells.
