Photoluminescence Properties Cd-doped Cu2ZnSnS4 Thin Films and Performance of The Solar Cells
thin films with different Cd compositions were prepared using sputtering-sulfuration method. The best device with efficiency as high as 10.65% was achieved. The scanning electron microscope
temperature dependent photoluminescence
excitation power dependent photoluminescence were employed to character the materials and the capacitance-voltage and current-voltage characteristics of the solar cells were studied. It is revealed that the photoluminescence of Cd doped Cu

ZnSnS

is dominated by donor-acceptor pairs
with carriers showing strong localization. Cd incorporation is found to be beneficial in removing deep defects and reduce the energy shift between the emission peak and absorption edge
resulting in the reduction of the open circuit voltage loss of the solar cell device. These findings are helpful to make further improvement in device efficiency.
