One-Step Gas-Solid-Phase Diffusion-Induced Elemental Reaction for Bandgap-Tunable Cu_aAg_m1Bi_m2I_n/CuI Thin Film Solar Cells.

ABSTRACT: Lead-free inorganic copper-silver-bismuth-halide materials have attracted more and more attention due to their environmental friendliness, high element abundance, and low cost. Here, we developed a strategy of one-step gas-solid-phase diffusion-induced reaction to fabricate a series of bandgap-tunable Cu_aAg_m1Bi_m2I_n/CuI bilayer films due to the atomic diffusion effect for the first time. By designing and regulating the sputtered Cu/Ag/Bi metal film thickness, the bandgap of Cu_aAg_m1Bi_m2I_n could be reduced from 2.06 to 1.78 eV. Solar cells with the structure of FTO/TiO₂/Cu_aAg_m1Bi_m2I_n/CuI/carbon were constructed, yielding a champion power conversion eff
