Abstract
Thin film photovoltaic devices (PVs) were fabricated with CuInSe(2) (CIS) nanocrystals capped with either oleylamine, inorganic metal chalcogenide-hydrazinium complexes (MCC), or S(2-), HS(-), and OH(-). A CIS nanocrystal layer deposited from solvent-based inks without high temperature processing served as the active light-absorbing material in the devices. The MCC ligand-capped CIS nanocrystal PVs exhibited power conversion efficiency under AM1.5 illumination (1.7%) comparable to the oleylamine-capped CIS nanocrystals (1.6%), but with significantly thinner absorber layers. S(2-)-capped CIS nanocrystals could be deposited from aqueous dispersions, but exhibited lower photovoltaic performance.
