Abstract

Cu₃SnS₄ (CTS) films were successfully prepared on FTO glass via DC magnetron sputtering by using a single ceramic target. The CTS/FTO glass was used as a Pt-free counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). The effects of substrate temperatures (150 ~ 450 °C) and sulfurization temperatures (450 ~ 550 °C) on the surface morphology of the CTS/FTO and the DSSC properties were investigated, among which the DSSC prepared at 250 °C and sulfurized at 550 °C had an optimum photovoltaic conversion efficiency (PCE, 6.45%). To further investigate the effects of film thickness, 400 nm and 200 nm films were deposited. It was found that the 400 nm film had the best PCE (7.75%), which was close to the PCE of commercial Pt/FTO electrodes (8.19%) under the same conditions. We also observed that the PCE values under back illumination were 0.73% (400 nm) and 0.89% (200 nm), respectively. The above studies show that the preparation of CTS film with this method can be used as a Pt-free electrode.
