Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop thin film materials and fabrication process for efficient $TiO_2$/CdTe solar cells. In this work photocatalyst titanium dioxide was prepared by sol-gel procedure according to reaction condition, the mole ratio of $H_2O$/TTIP, pH of solution and aging condition of powder. The prepared titanium dioxide was thermally treated from 300 to $750^{\circ}C$. Maximum intensity of anatase phase of titanium dioxide was achieved by calcination at $600^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr. And it was mixture of anatase and rutile phase when temperature of calcination was $750^{\circ}C$. It has been known that the properties of synthesized titanium dioxide according to aging time and calcination temperature was converted to anatase phase crystal on increasing of aging time. Also the current density has been increased with aging time and temperature, the efficiency has been increased with because of reason on above results. The formation of chemical bonding on oxygen and cadmium telluride under oxygen circumstances had been observed, and oxygen of thin film surface on cadmium telluride had been decreased with the treatment of chromate and hydrazine. As results had been shown that the energy conversion efficiency of cadmium telluride use by rapidly treatmented heat at the condition of $550^{\circ}C$ under air circumstance got 12.0%, 6.0% values according to $0.07cm^2$, $1.0cm^2$ surface area, respectively.

본 연구의 목적은 태양전지의 변환효율을 높이기 위한 박막형 소재 물질 개발과 전지의 조립과정을 개선 발달시키기 위한 것이다. 이 연구에 사용된 이산화티타니움은 물과 알콕사이드 몰비, 용액 pH의 변화, 분말의 묵힘조건 등 반응조건을 조절한 솔-겔 방법에 의하여 조제되었다. 준비된 이산화티타니움은 $300{\sim}750^{\circ}C$의 열처리조건 범위에서 소결하였다. $600^{\circ}C$의 열조건에서 만들어진 이산화티타니움은 XRD 패턴에서 강한 세기의 아나타제형이 나타났고, $750^{\circ}C$에서 소결되었을 때에는 아나타제형와 루틸형의 혼합물이 나타났다. 또한 소결온도와 묵힘시간 등에 따라 합성된 이산화티타니움의 특성은 묵힘시간이 증가함에 따라 아나타제형 결정으로 변환되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 한편 전류밀도는 묵힘시간과 온도에 따라 증가하였고, 변환효율은 전류밀도의 증가로 역시 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 산소분위기하에서 산소와 카드뮴텔루라이드의 화학결합이 생성됨을 관찰할 수 있었고, 카드뮴텔루라이드의 박막위의 산소가 크롬메이트와 하이드라진 처리에 의하여 감소되는 것을 알수 있었다. 결론적으로 공기분위기하에서 $550^{\circ}C$의 급속 소결조건에서 만들어진 카드뮴텔루라이드의 에너지변환효율은 $0.07cm^2$, $1.0cm^2$의 면적에 대해 각각 12.0%, 6.0%로 나타내었다.
