摘要
CIGS nanoparticles ink with composition of Cu (Ga(0.3) In(0.7)) Se(2) was prepared by using dissolved copper, indium, gallium acetylacetonate, and Se powder in oleylamine using hot injection methods. The structural properties of the CIGS films deposited on the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate were studied using an X-ray diffraction technique. The as-deposited CIGS films were found to be a chalcopyrite-type structure with crystallite grain size of about 43.8 nm. An optical study shows that the band-gap energy of the CIGS film is 1.25 eV. The flexible CIGS solar cell on a PET substrate with the best conversion efficiency of 4.21% is demonstrated.
