Abstract

Chalcopyrite quaternary semiconductor Cu (In_xGa_1-x) Se₂ nanocrystals were successfully prepared via a relatively simple electrospinning route and characterized using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Semiconductor Cu(In_xGa _1-x)Se₂ nanofibers were obtained for PVB/Cu(In _xGa_1-x)Se₂ precursor at an applied voltage of 20 kV after annealing treatment at 400 °C for 6 h. The optical property of Cu (In_xGa_1-x) Se₂ nanocrystals was also recorded by means of UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. We also report the first electrospinning synthesis of uniform chalcopyrite crystals Cu (In _xGa_1-x)Se₂ nanofibers and demonstrate can be used to create simple thin film solar cells, with our first cells exhibiting an efficiency of 1.96% under AM1.5 illumination.
