摘要
We investigate the molecular species present in hydrazine CuIn(Se,S)(2) precursor solutions and their effects on the band-gap of final CuIn(Se,S)(2) films. [Cu6S4](2-) ions and [In-2(Se,S)(4)](2-) ions are present. Sulfur from [In-2(Se,S)(4)](2-) is more effectively incorporated into the final material. This finding makes it possible to precisely control the band gap of CuIn(Se,S)(2) films by adjusting the S/Se ratio of the [In-2(Se,S)(4)](2-) ions in the final precursor solution. These results will enable the precise adjustment and optimization of the energy band-gap in solution-processed CuIn(Se,S)(2) absorber layers for the future fabrication of improved photovoltaic devices.
