A non-hydrazine solution process has been considered as a promising way for the deposition of Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2(CIGSSe) thin films. However, from our previous work, the presence of a fine-grained layer in the absorber layer was shown to be an obstacle to further improve the solar cell efficiency. Here, an improved fabrication route is proposed to solve this problem. A mixture of Cu2S, In2Se3, Ga and Se was simultaneously dissolved in 1,2-ethanedithiol and 1,2-ethylenediamine, forming a homogeneous precursor solution to deposit CIGSSe nanocrystal films. By optimizing the selenization method by using rapid thermal processing (RTP) combined with an improved graphite box, large grains throughout the whole absorber layer were successfully obtained. Based on such a high-quality CIGSSe absorber layer, an encouraging power conversion efficiency of 11.8% has been achieved with a Jsc of 28.25 mA cm−2, a Voc of 596 mV and a FF of 69.79% and without an antireflection coating.

The Cu-Ga-S/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) emitting green-to-red light are successfully synthesized by the conventional hot-injection method. In the preparation process, 1-dodecanethiol (DDT) is not only used as the solvent but also the sulfur precursor and ligand. Therefore, all reactants are additives, which can reduce solution contamination. The peak wavelength of Cu-Ga-S/ZnS QDs' emission can be tuned from 520 to 619 nm by changing Cu/Ga stoichiometry . And these quantum dots have narrow full-width at half maximum wavelength of about 75 nm. Furthermore, a white quantum-dot-based light-emitting diode is obtained by depositing the yellow Cu-Ga-S QDs on a blue InGaN chip.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) is usually served as the transparent conductive electrode of Cu(In, Ga)(S, -Se) 2 (CIGSSe) solar cells. However, ITO is fabricated by sputtering method, which will increase the cost of CIGSSe solar cells and prevent its large-scale market applications in the future. Hence, it is particularly important to develop low-cost transparent conductive window layers to replace the traditional ITO. Silver nanowires (AgNWs) are considered to be the most promising alternative to ITO. Compared with sputtered ITO, AgNWs have the advantages of high transmittance, low cost, and easy fabrication. Nevertheless, the poor adhesion and stability of AgNWs can prevent the transportation of carriers of CIGSSe solar cells. Here, we select amorphous TiO x as an adjuvant to fabricate AgNWs/TiO x composite transparent conductive layer to substitute the traditional ITO. Under the assistance of TiO x matrix, not only the connection, adhesion, and stability of AgNWs are greatly enhanced, but also the surface roughness of AgNWs is also reduced. The influence of AgNWs concentration on the performance of CIGSSe solar cells is investigated. When the AgNWs concentration is 2.5 mg/mL, the transmittance and sheet resistance of AgNWs thin film are 93.35% and 93 Ω/sq, respectively, and the devices achieved the highest efficiency of 13.59%.

A novel and versatile metal–organic molecular precursor-based solution approach and the fabrication of high efficiency Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 solar cells are presented. Many types of metal oxides, hydroxides, and acetylacetonates (acac), such as Cu2O, ZnO, SnO, Sb2O3, MnO, PbO, In(OH)3, Cd(OH)2, Ga(acac)3, and so forth, can be easily dissolved in butyldithiocarbamic acid, forming thermally degradable metal–organic molecular precursor solutions. By developing a simple and green ethanol solution-processed route and tuning the chemical composition of the Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 thin film, as-fabricated solar cells exhibit an average power conversion efficiency up to 8.8%.
