Electronic Characterisation of Earth‐Abundant Sulphides for Solar Photovoltaics[electronic resource] /by Thomas James Whittles. - 1st ed. 2018. - XXX, 362 p. 225 illus., 159 illus. in color.online resource. - Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053. - Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,.

Introduction -- Experimental Methods -- The Electronic Structure of CuSbS₂ for Use as a PV Absorber -- The Electronic Structure of Cu₃BiS₃ for Use as a PV Absorber -- The Electronic Structure of Cu₃BiS₃ for Use as a PV Absorber -- The Use of Photoemission Spectroscopies for the Characterisation and Identification of Cu₂ZnSnS₄ and its Secondary Phases -- Conclusions and Recommendations for the Future.

This book examines the electronic structure of earth-abundant and environmentally friendly materials for use as absorber layers within photovoltaic cells. The corroboration between high-quality photoemission measurements and density of states calculations yields valuable insights into why these materials have demonstrated poor device efficiencies in the vast literature cited. The book shows how the materials’ underlying electronic structures affect their properties, and how the band positions make them unsuitable for use with established solar cell technologies. After explaining these poor efficiencies, the book offers alternative window layer materials to improve the use of these absorbers. The power of photoemission and interpretation of the data in terms of factors generally overlooked in the literature, such as the materials’ oxidation and phase impurity, is demonstrated. Representing a unique reference guide, the book will be of considerable interest and value to members of the photoemission community engaged in solar cell research, and to a wider materials science audience as well.
