摘要

Direct band gap and high absorption coefficient of copper indium diselenide (CIS) make it as one ofthe most studied ternary chalcogenides for energy conversion. Low cost methods, such aselectrochemical deposition are very beneficial because of large scale production possibility, minimumwaste of components and no requirement of pure starting materials. The pulse electrodeposition allowsindependent variation of duty cycle. In this study pulse electrodeposition of polycrystalline thin film ofCuInSe2 (CIS) onto ITO glass substrates from aqueous solution containing CuSO4, In2(SO4)3 and SeO2was carried out. The probable potential for deposition was determined as -0.9 V from cyclico voltammogram. The deposited film was annealed at 400 C under nitrogen gas flow to provide neutralatmosphere to improve the crystalline quality and remove excess selenium. The film was analyzedusing X-ray diffraction which confirmed that CIS deposit has tetragonal structure. The chalcopyriteformation and consistency in terms of stoichiometry in the deposit were proved. The optical propertyof the thin film was determined base on the measurement by using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Thedirect band gap for the thin film is around 1.21 eV. As a result, the deposited CIS thin film is apotential candidate to be used in solar cell devices as an energy convertor. Atomic force microscopewas employed to monitor the effect of duty cycles on the morphology of the thin film. It is revealedthat with increasing duty cycle the surface morphology shift from smooth to dendrite structure. Photo- electrochemical characterization was performed under chopped white light in acidic redox media. Itwas showed that CIS film is a photosensitive material and stands as p and n-p type semiconductors byadjusting different duty cycles. The photoactivity of the films was highly affected by their surfacemorphology.
