•Atmospheric pressure selenization post-treatment of spray casted Cu(In,Ga)Se2 nanocrystal thin film is developed.•Effects of Selenization conditions & NaF doping are investigated.•Se pallets are used as source of Se vapor.•Al:ZnO/i:ZnO/CdS/CIGS/Mo/SLG devices were fabricated without toxic KCN etching.•Maximum power conversion efficiency of 6.7% is obtained.
Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) is suitable absorber material for thin film photovoltaic owing to its excellent thermo-chemical stability and demonstration of high power conversion efficiency of 23.35% for lab-scale devices. The manufacturing of CIGS thin film solar cells need to be economical for commercially viability. Non-vacuum approach for the synthesis of the CIGS thin film absorber is desired for its cost-effective benefits over vacuum based processes. We report development of solution-processed CIGS absorber layer involving spraying of sonochemically prepared nanocrystal ink to obtain pristine CIGS nanocrystal layer, followed by single-step atmospheric pressure selenization utilizing Se pallets as a Se vapor source. Influence of selenization conditions and NaF doping on grain growth of the CIGS thin film absorber is studied in detail by structural, morphological, compositional and electrical characterization. Solar cells prepared under optimized conditions yielded a maximum efficiency of 6.7% without employing any thermal pre-treatment and toxic Potassium Cyanide etching. |
