Influence of Zinc Content in Ternary ZnCdS Films Deposited by Chemical Bath Deposition for Photovoltaic Applications

Abstract: Cadmium Zinc Sulfide thin films with different Zn concentration were synthesized in aqueous solution by chemical bath deposition (CBD) method using CdSO 4 , ZnSO 4 , CH 4 N 2 S for Cd +2 , Zn +2 , and S −2 ions source, respectively. The as-deposited films are well homogeneous, adherent and free from pinholes. The incorporation of Zn in CdS was found to be dependent on the annealing temperature. Structure, morphology, elemental analysis, optical and photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties of ZnCdS were characteri… Show more

“…Table 3 show the results for optical bandgaps ranging from 2.42 eV for CdS to 2.90 eV for various ZnCdS thin films. Figure 2 and Table 3 are taken from the article [33]. To observe this varying bandgap effect on performance of CZTS based solar cell of proposed model "Glass/Back Contact/CZTS/ZnCdS/ZnO/Front Contact" has been simulated where the thickness of CZTS and ZnO was kept 2 μm and 0.05 μm respectively.…”

“…Sn 2+ ions (140 pm) are been substituted by smaller radius in size Fe 2+ ions (126 pm) and then diffraction planes are closer and diffraction peaks shifts to higher angles. 22 Figure 3 shows the surface morphology of the as-synthesized SnS 2 and SnFeS 2 powders as observed from the FESEM images. The surface roughness decreases dramatically as increases the Fe contents, finer and more homogenous surface are formed.…”

“…Furthermore, as increases the dopant concentration from 0% to 10% the position of the diffraction peaks slightly shifts to higher angles. Sn 2+ ions (140 pm) are been substitutedby smaller radius in size Fe 2+ ions (126 pm) and then diffraction planes are closer and diffraction peaks shifts to higher angles[22]. represent the SnS2 crystallite size with different Fe contents.…”
