摘要
Antimony selenide (Sb2 Se3 ) is a highly promising photovoltaic material thanks to its outstanding optoelectronic properties, as well as its cost-effective and eco-friendly merits. However, toxic CdS is widely used as an electron transport layer (ETL) in efficient Sb2 Se3 solar cells, which largely limit their development toward market commercialization. Herein, an effective green Cd-free ETL of SnOx is introduced and deposited by atomic layer deposition method. Additionally, an important post-annealing treatment is designed to further optimize the functional layers and the heterojunction interface properties. Such engineering strategy can optimize SnOx ETL with higher nano-crystallinity, higher carrier density, and less defect groups, modify Sb2 Se3 /SnOx heterojunction with better interface performance and much desirable "spike-like" band alignment, and also improve the Sb2 Se3 light absorber layer quality with passivated bulk defects and prolonged carrier lifetime, and therefore to enhance carrier separation and transport while suppressing non-radiative recombination. Finally, the as-fabricated Cd-free Mo/Sb2 Se3 /SnOx /ITO/Ag thin-film solar cell exhibits a stimulating efficiency of 7.39%, contributing a record value for Cd-free substrate structured Sb2 Se3 solar cells reported to date. This work provides a viable strategy for developing and broadening practical applications of environmental-friendly Sb2 Se3 photovoltaic devices.
