Correlating molecular precursor interactions with device performance in solution-processed Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 thin-film solar cells
Abstract
Research efforts aimed at improving the crystal quality of solution-processed Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) absorbers have largely employed delicate pre- and post-processing strategies, such as multi-step selenization, heat treatment in mixed chalcogen atmospheres, and multinary extrinsic doping that are often complex and difficult to reproduce. On the other hand, understanding and tunning chemical interactions in precursor inks prior to the thin-film deposition have received significant less attention. Herein, we show for the first time how the complexation of metallic and chalcogen precursors in solution have a stark influence on the crystallization and optoelectronic quality of CZTSSe absorbers. By varying thiourea to metal cation ratios (TU/M) in dimethylformamide (DMF) and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) based inks, we observed the formation of nanoscale metal-organic complexes and sub-micron size aggregates which play a key role in the morphology of the precursor layers obtained by spin-coating and drying steps. We also identify the primary cations in the complexation and assembling processes in solution. The morphology of the precursor film, in turn, has an important effect on grain growth and film absorber structure after the reactive annealing in the presence of Se. Finally, we establish a link between metal complexes in precursor solutions and device performance, with power conversion efficiency increasing from approximately 2% to 8% depending on the TU/M and Cu/(Zn+Sn) ratios.
