The non-renewable nature and environmental pollution caused by burning of traditional fossil energy forces people to find new renewable pollution-free clean energy. Hydrogen is an emerging renewable energy source that is of great interest because of its high calorific value and the fact that the combustion product is water, which is not polluting to the environment. The method for producing hydrogen by utilizing solar photocatalysis and photoelectrochemistry to decompose water is an ideal way for producing hydrogen with high efficiency and is one of hot spots for research in the field of energy sources. The key point of the goal is to research, develop and prepare efficient, stable, nontoxic and low-cost photoelectric materials.
The optical bandgap of the Copper Zinc Tin Sulfide (CZTS) catalyst is 1.5eV close to the optimal optical bandgap of the solar cell; has a light absorption coefficient of more than 104cm-1The material has a relatively wide absorption band in an ultraviolet-visible light wave band; the CZTS does not contain highly toxic elements, is safe and environment-friendly, and has rich element reserves; the CZTS is a direct band gap semiconductor, has good light failure resistance, and is suitable for preparing efficient and stable solar thin film batteries and photoelectrochemistry hydrogen production photoelectrode. However, the CZTS quaternary compound has many binary or ternary impurity phases and defects, such as vacancies, substitutions, and gaps, which adversely affect the photoelectrochemical properties and reduce the photoelectric efficiency thereof. This has led to the related research of CZTS entering the bottleneck period, which restricts the way of large-scale industrial application.
In the study of CZTS thin film solar cells, there is oneEmpirical rule, namely, the CZTS battery prepared in the environment poor in Cu, Sn and Zn is higher in efficiency. This is due to the deeper levels of Cu in the sample under such growth conditionsZnAnd SnZnThe defect concentration will be reduced, and the defective cluster [2Cu ] will be unfavorableZn+SnZn]Is also inhibited. However, at present, a powerful means for component regulation and defect control of the CZTS is still lacked, and the method is more empirical, and the physical nature and the action mechanism existing in the method are lacked of deep experimental research, which is an important factor for limiting the improvement of the performance of the CZTS photoelectric device. Therefore, developing a proper modification means to reduce harmful defects, optimizing components and structures, and researching the action mechanism of the modification means is an important means for improving the photoelectric property of CZTS. The project provides that the self-doping strategy based on the colloid chemical preparation technology is utilized to regulate and control the components and defects of the CZTS material, the energy band structure is optimized, and the photoelectric performance is further improved.
