Efficient Kesterite Solar Cells via Scalable Doctor‐Blading of 2‐Methoxyethanol‐Based Molecular Ink

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.
A new record efficiency of 13.26% has been achieved for doctor‐bladed CZTSSe solar cells, fabricated for the first time from an MOE‐based molecular ink in ambient air. Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) thin‐film solar cells have garnered significant interest owing to their appealing properties, such as earth‐abundant composition, environmental friendliness, high

Texture inheritance in thin film growth of Cu2ZnSnS4

, 2009
The growth mechanism of Cu2ZnSnS4 thin films is studied starting from highly textured ZnS precursor films. These precursors were converted to Cu2ZnSnS4 by subsequent deposition of Cu, Sn and S at high temperatures.

Improvement of Structural and Optical Properties of V+‐Implanted CZTS Thin Films at Different Fluences

physica status solidi (a), Volume 223, Issue 12, 24 June 2026.
This study investigates the effects of vanadium ion implantation on pristine copper zinc tin sulphide (CZTS) thin films. The CZTS thin films were synthesized via a two‐stage process: electron beam deposition of metal precursors (Cu, Zn, and Sn) followed by sulphurization in a tube furnace at 500°C for 30 min.

Low-temperature molten salt synthesis and characterization of Cu2ZnSnS4 ultrafine powders [PDF]

, 2017
Nano-crystalline particles of Cu2ZnSnS4 have been successfully synthesized by a relatively low-temperature molten salt technique. The reaction of metal chlorides with KSCN at 400°C for 24h led to the Cu2ZnSnS4 phase.

Role of Nitrogen Doping in Defect Control and Phase Stability of Sulfurized SnS Thin Films

physica status solidi (b), Volume 263, Issue 6, June 2026.
Nitrogen doping in SnS thin films influences defect formation and phase stability during sulfurization. Moderate N incorporation suppresses secondary phases and enhances carrier concentration at high temperatures. Carrier transport shifts from grain‐boundary‐limited to ionized‐impurity‐limited conduction, indicating activation of electrically active ...
