Effect of selenization conditions on the growth and properties of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 thin films [PDF]
Thin Solid Films, 2015 Abstract The opto-electronic properties of copper zinc tin sulfide can be tuned to achieve better cell efficiencies by controlled incorporation of selenium. In this paper we report the growth of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) using a hybrid process involving the sequential evaporation of Zn and sputtering of the sulfide precursors of Cu and Sn, followed by ...

Highlighting a Bright Future for Chalcogenide Perovskites
ChemistryEurope, Volume 4, Issue 2, February 2026.Chalcogenide perovskites are an emerging class of semiconductors with an earth‐abundant and nontoxic composition and excellent stability. This work highlights a recent advance in our understanding of chalcogenide perovskite defect chemistry and lattice vibrations and evidence that BaZrS3 can be made with good optoelectronic quality.

International Journal of Photoenergy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The practical efficiency of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin‐film solar cells remains constrained by unfavorable band alignment, high defect densities, and inefficient charge extraction at interfaces. This study numerically investigates and optimizes CZTS‐based solar cells by evaluating four Cu‐based hole transport layers (HTLs)—Cu2O, CuO, CuI, and CuSCN—to ...
