Very recently, Zhu's group fabricated substrate structure Sb 2 Se 3 thin film solar cells with an efficiency of 3.47%, in which the Sb 2 Se 3 absorber layers were prepared by sputtering Sb and post-selenization process .
The effect of substrate temperatures was studied and optimized. An additional selenization process, forming a thin MoSe 2 layer on the Mo back contact, was introduced prior to the deposition of Sb 2 Se 3 layer, which was found to further improve the back contact of substrate Sb 2 Se 3 thin film solar cells.
A previous record for thin film solar cell efficiency of 22.3% was achieved by Solar Frontier, the world's largest CIS (copper indium selenium) solar energy provider.
One key deposition method used in III–V thin film solar cell fabrication is metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), also called metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOVPE). Metal–organic CVD (MOCVD) is a CVD process for growing epitaxial films and is done by flowing precursor gases over the substrate.
Considering the accessibility and cost, the main thin film deposition techniques used in photovoltaics are physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), chemical solution deposition and sol–gel [ 3 ]. 2. Crystalline silicon solar cells As mentioned above, c-Si is dominating the PV industry with a market share of 95%.
It involves the generation of electricity from sunlight shining through the front cover onto solar cells packaged into a solar module. As of May 2022, global PV installations have reached 1 TW. In the PV market, crystalline-Si (c-Si) solar cells account for 95% and thin film solar cells account for 5% [ 2 ].
