Toward Mass-Production of Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Solar Cells: Scalable Growth of Photovoltaic-Grade Multilayer WSe2 by Tungsten Selenization
arxiv(2024)
摘要
Semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising for
high-specific-power photovoltaics due to desirable band gaps, high absorption
coefficients, and ideally dangling-bond-free surfaces. Despite their potential,
the majority of TMD solar cells are fabricated in a non-scalable fashion using
exfoliated materials due to the absence of high-quality, large-area, multilayer
TMDs. Here, we present the scalable, thickness-tunable synthesis of multilayer
tungsten diselenide (WSe_2) films by selenizing pre-patterned tungsten with
either solid source selenium or H_2Se precursors, which leads to smooth,
wafer-scale WSe_2 films with a layered van der Waals structure. The films
have charge carrier lifetimes up to 144 ns, over 14x higher than large-area TMD
films previously demonstrated. Such high carrier lifetimes correspond to power
conversion efficiency of 22
packaged solar cell, or 3 W g^-1 in a fully-packaged solar module. This
paves the way for the mass-production of high-efficiency multilayer WSe_2
solar cells at low cost.
