CuBaSn(S Se ) has shown great prospects in the photoelectric field due to Earth-abundance, low toxicity, cost efficiency, direct bandgap, high absorption coefficient (>10 cm) and reduced anti-site disorder relative to CuZnSn(S Se ). A fully-tunable ratio of S/Se is the key to broaden the bandgap of CuBaSn(S Se ). Here, we introduce a thionothiolic acid metathesis process to readily tune the stoichiometry of CuBaSn(S Se ) films for the first time. Different stoichiometric Se/(S + Se) of CuBaSn(S Se ) from zero to one can vary the bandgap range from 2 to 1.68 eV. The grain size of CuBaSn(S Se ) films can be grown more than 10 μm. The optimized bandgap and high-quality growth of CuBaSn(S Se ) films ensure the best power conversion efficiency of 2.01% for solution-processed CuBaSn(S Se ) solar cells. This method provides an alternative solution-processed way for the synthesis of fully stoichiometric CuBaSn(S Se ).
由于储量丰富、毒性低、成本效益高、直接带隙、高吸收系数(>10⁵ cm⁻¹)以及相对于CuZnSn(S,Se)₄减少的反位无序,CuBaSn(S,Se)₄在光电领域展现出了巨大的前景。硫/硒的完全可调比例是拓宽CuBaSn(S,Se)₄带隙的关键。在此,我们首次引入硫代硫醇酸复分解过程来轻松调节CuBaSn(S,Se)₄薄膜的化学计量比。CuBaSn(S,Se)₄不同化学计量比的硒/(硫 + 硒)从零到一可使带隙范围从2 eV变化到1.68 eV。CuBaSn(S,Se)₄薄膜的晶粒尺寸可以生长到超过10 μm。CuBaSn(S,Se)₄薄膜优化的带隙和高质量生长确保了溶液法制备的CuBaSn(S,Se)₄太阳能电池的最佳功率转换效率为2.01%。该方法为合成完全化学计量的CuBaSn(S,Se)₄提供了一种溶液法替代方案。
