Abstract

- Chalcogen-based materials like Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) have attracted extensive attention for applications such as photovoltaics and water splitting. However, an inability to monitor the sulfur partial pressure (PS2) during the non-equilibrium annealing process at high temperatures complicates the synthesis of CZTS with controlled optoelectronic properties. Here we demonstrate that PS2 can be monitored by investigating the Sn–S phase transformation. We showed that PS2 drops considerably over the annealing time, causing gradual alterations in CZTS: (i) a change in defect type and (ii) evolution of ZnS and SnxSy phases. With additional ordering treatment, we observed that the low room-temperature photoluminescence energy usually seen in CZTS can result from insufficient PS2 during annealing. It is proven that remarkable Voc beyond 700 mV for solar cells with nonoptimal CdS buffer can be repeatedly achieved when CZTS is prepared under a sufficiently high PS2. An ordering treatment before CdS deposition can further improve Voc to 783 mV.
