Traces of iron impurities in copper sources can be a poison to Cu(In, Ga)Se2 solar cells

Nano Select, 2022
It has been widely accepted that the diffusion of iron from stainless steel substrates has detrimental impact on Cu(In, Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cell performance. However, the effect of traces of iron impurities in copper sources can be neglected all the time.
