Abstract

CBD-Zn(S,O,OH) remains one the most studied and promising Cd-free buffer layer for Cu(In,Ga)Se2-based solar cells, and has already demonstrated its potential to lead to high-efficiency solar cells. However Zn(S,O,OH) deposition time and metastable behavior of the final devices remain critical to outperform CdS-based devices. The aim of this work is to study and understand the influence of additives such as H2O2 on the deposition bath and on the surface of the absorber. These results will be related with final performances of the devices. A new promising additive, persulfate S2O82-, will be presented and could be the key to go beyond CdS-based solar cell records.
