摘要
In this paper, Cu2SnS3 (CTS) thin film is fabricated through sulfurization of oxide precursor which is deposited by pulsed laser deposition with a mixed CuO/ SnO2 target. XRD and Raman analyses indicate a pure monoclinic Cu2SnS3 phase has been obtained by sulfurization at temperature from 500 to 600 degrees C. A compact and smooth film with polycrystalline structure is observed through SEM result. In addition, the CTS films show excellent absorbance with the band gap around 0.91 eV estimated by UV-Vis, which is suitable for the absorption layer of solar cells. Final devices were fabricated with a SLG/Mo/ CTS/CdS/ i-ZnO/AZO/Al structure. Device performance is improved with the temperature increasing. The best efficiency of CTS-based solar cells is 0.69% with an open-circuit voltage of 144 mV and a short-circuit current density of 18.30 mA/ cm (-2).
