Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of critical material for an absorbing layer of a thin film solar cell. The critical material is CuM(1-2x)R2(1+x), wherein M is selected from one of Al andIn, or selected from two of Al, In and Ga, R is selected from S or Se, and the value of x is -0.2 to 0.1; the state of material is powder or block target material. The preparation method of the materials is as follows: synthesizing the blocks of the materials in a vacuum closed container or in a closed container charged with argon, nitrogen or helium gas having the pressure lower than atmospherepressure; crushing the blocks to obtain the required powder; and finally synthesizing the required block target material in a hot-pressing furnace. The method is a pure element method liquid phase synthesis technique, has wide applicability, accurate proportioning, low cost, high quality of prepared target materials, compactness of powder material reaching more than 99.9%, and compactness of blocktarget material reaching more than 98.9%.
