  1. 1. Reactive sputtering and composition measurements of precursors for Cu2ZnSnS4 thin film solar cells

    Författare :Tove Ericson; Charlotte Platzer-Björkman; Tomas Kubart; Marika Edoff; Anders Hallén; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cu2ZnSnS4; Kesterite; Reactive sputtering; Process curve; Photovoltaics; Composition measurments; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektronik; Engineering Science with specialization in Electronics;

    Sammanfattning : Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is a thin film solar cell material that only contains abundant elements and for which promising conversion efficiencies of 9.2 % have been shown. In this thesis composition measurements and reactive sputtering of precursors for CZTS films have been studied. These precursors can be annealed to create high quality CZTS films. LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; solar cells; thin film; buffer layer; sputtering; reactive sputtering; CZTS; kesterite; zinc tin oxide; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektronik; Engineering Science with specialization in Electronics;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to understand the influence of the deposition process and resulting film properties on Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film solar cells. Two main aspects are studied, namely formation of absorber precursors by sputtering, and alternative Cd-free buffer materials with improved band alignment. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Defect Engineering in Kesterite Materials for Thin Film Solar Cells

    Författare :Katharina Rudisch; Jonathan J. Scragg; Alain Lafond; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CZTS; thin film solar cells; defect engineering; composition-spread films; order disorder transition; intrinsic defects; secondary phases; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektronik; Engineering Science with specialization in Electronics;

    Sammanfattning : Cu2ZnSnS4 has great potential to be applied as an earth abundant and non-toxic absorber material in thin film solar cells, based on its suitable optical properties. However, several challenges have prevented the achievable efficiencies from exceeding 12.6 %, which is well below marketable efficiencies compared to competing solar cell technologies. LÄS MER
