摘要

The thermal evaporation technique was utilized to fabricate heterojunction solar cells based on ZnIn2(Se1−xSx)4 (ZISS) chalcopyrite semiconductor thin films with various sulfur content (x = 0.0, 0.1, and 0.2). The films, with a thickness of 400 nm, were deposited on glass and fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates. We propose a p-ZnIn2Se4/FTO heterojunction solar cell, where the incorporation of sulfur has proven successful in enhancing the ZISS absorber layer. The n-In2S3/p-ZnIn2Se4/FTO heterojunction structure contributes to higher solar cell efficiency. It was observed that the conversion efficiency (η) increased with sulfur addition. Using an n-In2S3 window layer, the direct optical energy bandgap decreased from 1.75 eV at x = 0.0 to 1.61 eV at x = 0.2. The current–voltage (I–V) measurements demonstrated that the performance of the heterojunction solar cell improved with increasing sulfur content. The results indicate that the solar cell prepared with a sulfur ratio of 0.2 achieved the highest efficiency (η = 4.47%) among the samples.
