The invention provides a method for preparing a
copper gallium sulfide photoelectric thin film from
copper chloride, and belongs to the technical field of preparation of photoelectric thin films for solar cells. The
copper gallium sulfide photoelectric thin film is obtained through the following steps of: firstly, cleaning a glass substrate and then putting CuCl2.2H2O, Ga(NO3)3.xH2O and CH3CSNH2 into a
solvent for mixing evenly; obtaining a precursor thin film on a
glass sheet through a spin-
coating method,
drying the precursor thin film and putting the precursor thin film into a closed container with hydrazine
hydrate; preventing a precursor thin film sample from being in contact with the hydrazine
hydrate and arranging the closed container with the sample into an oven for heating and heat preservation treatment; and finally taking out the sample to soak for 24 hours and then
drying the sample to obtain the copper
gallium sulfide photoelectric thin film. A high-temperature and high-vacuum condition is not needed; the method is low in demands on instruments and equipment, low in production cost, high in production efficiency and easy to operate; the obtained copper
gallium sulfide photoelectric thin film has relatively good continuity and uniformity; the main phase is a CuGaS2 phase; by the novel technology, the component and the structure of a target product are easy to control; and a low-cost production method capable of achieving industrialization is provided for preparation of the high-performance copper
gallium sulfide photoelectric thin film.
