Solution‐Processed Sub‐1.1 eV Chalcogenide Absorbers for Near‐Infrared Energy Conversion: Materials Chemistry, Device Physics, and Emerging Opportunities

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
Emerging solution‐processed Ag–Bi and Cu–Sn chalcogenides offer a low‐cost route to efficient near‐infrared photovoltaics. This review highlights their promise, pinpoints critical bottlenecks, and proposes strategies to enhance the performance and viability of sub‐1.1 eV absorbers.

Environmentally friendly solution route to kesterite Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)(4) thin films for solar cell applications [PDF]

, 2014
Quaternary kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) and Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) thin films have been prepared from a mixture of CuS, ZnS and SnS2 nanoparticles and solar cells were made from the CZTSSe films.

Effect of Magnesium Incorporation on Solution-Processed Kesterite Solar Cells

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2018
The introduction of the alkaline-earth element Magnesium (Mg) into Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CTZSSe) is explored in view of potential photovoltaic applications. Cu2Zn1−xMgxSn(S,Se)4 absorber layers with variable Mg content x = 0…1 are deposited using the solution ...

Cu–Zn disorder and band gap fluctuations in Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 : Theoretical and experimental investigations [PDF]

, 2016
Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTS(e)) solar cells suffer from low-open-circuit voltages that have been blamed on the existence of band gap fluctuations, with different possible origins.

CdCl2 Treatment for Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4: A Method to Enhance the Solar Cell Performance

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 271-285, March 2026.
We present, for the first time, two alternative CdCl2 treatments applied to solution‐processed kesterite (CZTSSe) absorbers: pre‐selenization and post‐selenization. Carrier concentration is consistently increased by either route, whereas the band gap decreases with pre‐selenization but remains nearly constant with post‐selenization; enhanced defect ...

Suppressing back-interface recombination in CZTSSe solar cells via SiO2 nanoparticle-induced discrete local contacts

Nano Research
The severe back interface recombination remains a major performance limiting factor in Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) solar cells. In this work, SiO2 nanoparticles deposited on Mo substrate by spin-coating were used to create discrete local contact points to ...

Cadmium‐Free Kesterite Thin‐Film Solar Cells with High Efficiency Approaching 12%

Advanced Science, 2023
Cadmium sulfide (CdS) buffer layer is commonly used in Kesterite Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) thin film solar cells. However, the toxicity of Cadmium (Cd) and perilous waste, which is generated during the deposition process (chemical bath deposition), and the
