Problems solved by technology

This gap is largely due to the difference between the copper-zinc-tin-sulfur-based thin-film material itself and the CIGS thin-film material. One of the important reasons is that the copper-zinc-tin-sulfur-based thin-film material is very sensitive to its element ratio, and its stable single The phase area is very narrow. In the actual growth process, high-temperature selenization or sulfidation is required, which can easily cause the loss of Sn and Zn elements, or the problem of local element mismatch, and the introduction of Cu 2 S(Se), ZnS(Se), SnS(Se) 2 equal quadratic phase
These secondary phases lead to different degrees of damage to the device performance of solar cells: some of them have better conductivity and narrow band gap (such as Cu 2 The secondary phase of S(Se)) is easy to form internal bulk leakage current due to its high carrier concentration, thereby reducing the working voltage of the battery; while the wide bandgap (such as ZnS(Se), SnS(Se) 2 ) secondary phase may become a recombination center inside the material; a large number of secondary phases can also easily form an insulating layer or a secondary diode, resulting in an increase in the series resistance of the material, making it difficult to export photogenerated electron-hole pairs, thereby reducing the battery output current
