Abstract

Zn(S, O, OH) represents the most studied Cd-free material for replacing chemical bath deposited (CBD)-CdS buffer layers in Cu(In, Ga)Se ₂-based solar cells. However, the record performances remain lower than the CdS. The aim of this work is to study new bath compositions for CBD-Zn(S, O, OH), by introducing new complexing and non-complexing reactants for higher efficiencies, and to analyze their effects on growth mechanisms. Promising bath compositions based on the combined used of H₂O ₂ and tri-sodium citrate have been developed, and could be a new avenue to outperform the CdS-based solar cells.
