Atomic periodic engineering enabled ultrathin high-efficiency AgBiS2 solar cells†
Abstract
The ultrahigh optical absorption coefficient of AgBiS2 has been achieved by atomic periodic engineering of AgS6 and BiS6 octahedrons. Furthermore, strong dielectric constant modulation and direct band gap of tetra-I41/amd AgBiS2 are obtained, which enable a high spectroscopic limited maximum efficiency of 29.7% at an ultrathin thickness of 100 nm.
