Title: | 13.3% efficient solution deposited Cu(In,Ga)Se-2 solar cells processed with different sodium salt sources | Authors: | Berner, U Colombara, D DE WILD, Jessica Robert, EVC Schutze, M Hergert, F Valle, N Widenmeyer, M Dale, PJ |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Publisher: | WILEY | Source: | Progress in photovoltaics (Print), 24 (6) , p. 749 -759 | Abstract: | In this work, we obtain the highest reported power conversion efficiency (13.3%) for sulfur-free CIGSe solar cells by solution processing. Intentional sodium incorporation is achieved directly by dissolving sodium salts in the ink. The effect on solar cell properties of three sodium sources is investigated: NaCl, NaHCO2, and NaSCN. A comparison is made with absorbers grown on soda-lime glass substrates and in the absence of sodium sources. The incorporation via sodium salts yields significantly better results, which is attributed to enhanced-sodium availability. A comparison with identically annealed sputtered metal precursor layers capable of delivering 15.1% module efficiency suggests that the cell results are limited by the selenization procedure.
