Abstract
CIGS based solar cells are still part of the most popular solar cells developed. A chemical study is presented here by using XPS measurements, characterizing the surface chemistry and reactivity, with a focus on deoxidation and further ageing products, among which binary compounds and oxides can be found. Different chemical treatments are also suggested to adjust the surface composition of CIGS materials and to determine the re-oxidation delay. A specific point will be also discussed about the comparative evolution of alkali element distribution during the ageing of conventional CIGS/glass and CIGS/flexible substrate systems, requiring in this case an external alkali source.
