旋涂辅助连续离子反应法制备CdS纳米晶及其光电性能

为了解决CdS传统制备工艺中连续离子吸附反应(SILAR)法存在的产物颗粒小、敏化层厚度不易提高的问题,将传统SILAR法中的浸泡吸附工艺改为旋涂工艺,采用全新的旋涂辅助连续离子反应法(S-SILR)制备CdS纳米晶颗粒,同时将新旧两种方法制备的CdS纳米晶分别沉积到ZnO纳米棒有序阵列中进行对比研究,利用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)、紫外-可见吸收光谱(UV-vis)、瞬态光电流等分析手段对产品形貌、结构、光吸收性能和光电转换性能进行了表征和测试。结果表明,利用S-SILR法制备CdS纳米晶光敏层更容易形成对ZnO纳米有序阵列的完全包覆;与传统的浸泡吸附法相比,改进后的旋涂法所得ZnO/CdS复合薄膜在可见光区的光吸收和光电转换性能更加优异。CdS沉积方法的改进对提高太阳电池制备工艺的可操作性及其光电转换性能有一定的指导意义。

Preparation of CdS nanoparticels with spin-coating assisted successive ionic layer reaction and their photoelectrochemical properties

In order to settle the problems in the traditional SILAR method for CdS deposition, such as smaller particles and being difficult to enhance the sensitive layers, an improved spin-coating assisted successive ionic layer reaction method (S-SILR) substituted for the traditional SILAR method is used to deposit the CdS nanocrystals. The comparison between the improved and traditional methods is studied after depositing the CdS nanocrystals onto the ZnO nanorod arrays with the two approaches. Different analysis methods, SEM, XRD, UV-vis and the transit photocurrent measurement are conducted to characterize the morphologies and structures of the samples, as well as investigating the light absorption properties, and the photoelectric conversion performance of the electrodes. The results indicate that the CdS nanocrystals photosensitive layers could be totally coated onto the ZnO nanorod arrays more easily by the improved S-SILR method; the light absorption properties and the photoelectric conversion performance of the electrodes prepared by the improved S-SILR method are more excellent compared with those electrodes prepared by the traditional SILAR method. The improvement of the CdS deposition method has certain guiding significance in enhancing the operability of the preparation technology and the photovoltaic performance of the solar cells.
