Multiple Synergistic Effects Enabling Efficient Kesterite Solar Cells via Introducing a Cu2O‐Bi2O3 Sacrificial Interlayer

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
The Cu2O‐Bi2O3 thin film as a sacrificial interlayer at the back contact of kesterite solar cells achieves multiple synergistic optimizations in bulk defects, interface defects, back‐contact band offset, and MoSe2 properties. This enhances carrier separation, suppresses interface recombination, and enables DMSO‐processed kesterite devices to reach a ...
