To reduce the manufacturing cost, soda-lime glass (SLG) is often used as the substrate for thin-film solar cells. It is known that SLG contains about 16 wt% Na in the form of Na2O. During the growth of thin films, Na ions may diffuse out from SLG and diffuse into the grown thin films and affect the optoelectronic properties of the thin films. The widely used commercial F-doped Sn2O (FTO) glass (Teck...
In this work, we studied the impact of using Zn1-xMgxO to replace the intrinsic ZnO in CIGS solar cells. The effect of Mg content and layer thickness of the Zn1-xMgxO on device formation was investigated. We found that the amount of Mg in the Zn1-xMgxO layer and the layer thickness significantly alter the cell properties. Device characterization indicated that the impact of the Mg content is not limited...
We studied the electrical properties and device performance of the Cu(In,Ga)Se2 solar cell when i-ZnO is replaced by i-ZnMgO. Admittance spectroscopy reveals a deep level attributed to the i-ZnMgO/CdS interface. The capacitance voltage experiment indicates a pronounced reduction of carrier concentration in the p-CIGS absorber. Inserting a thin i-ZnO layer between i-ZnMgO and CdS completely removes...
The long term performance of Cu(In, Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells were strongly affected by their ability in withstanding surrounding weather change, including temperature, humidity, and light, etc. In our experiment, we focused on the stability study of window layer materials of undoped ZnO (IZO) and Al:ZnO (AZO) using damp heat and dry heat treatment. We found that the Al dopant had enhanced the capture...
