Abstract:
High performances of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) solar cells are heavily influenced by the quality of heterojunctions. Herein, an oxygen (O) doping of CZTSSe/CdS heterojunction is performed to suppress the formation of the defects by an ultraviolet ozone (UV-O3) treatment for the efficient flexible CZTSSe solar cells. The introduction of O reduces the non-radiative recombination and increases the carrier concentration of the CdS films. Furthermore, the defect density of the CdS film has been reduced from 8.24 × 1016 to 2.91 × 1016 cm−3 by the O-doping. The results indicate that the electron transport is effectively promoted due to the decreased conduction band offset (CBO) at the heterojunction interface. As a result, the champion flexible CZTSSe solar cell achieves a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 11.21%, with a significantly improved short circuit current density. The study for improving the CZTSSe/CdS heterojunction through O-doping treatment provides a new insight for enhancing the PCE of the flexible CZTSSe solar cells. © 2025 Science Press
