The preparation of CIGS (Cu(In,Ga)Se<inf>2</inf>) by a solution route method

Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) nanoparticles which are used as a precursor material for a CIGS absorber layer for CIGS-based solar cells were successfully synthesized by a simple solution route. The dispersed metal ions were reduced simultaneously in the solutions using zinc particles. The types of solvent, si...
