Synthesis of Cu-Poor Copper-Indium-Gallium-Diselenide Nanoparticles by Solvothermal Route for Solar Cell Applications

Copper-indium-gallium-diselenide (CIGS) thin films were fabricated using precursor nanoparticle ink and sintering technology. The precursor was a Cu-poor quaternary compound with constituent ratios of Cu/(In+Ga)=0.603, Ga/(In+Ga)=0.674, and Se/(Cu+In+Ga)=1.036. Cu-poor CIGS nanoparticles of chalcopy...
