A Review of CZTS Thin‐Film Solar Cells Using Tandem and Multijunction Structures

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) is an earth‐abundant, nontoxic, and cost‐effective absorber material that has gained significant attention as a sustainable alternative to CIGS and CdTe in thin‐film photovoltaics (PVs). With a direct bandgap of 1.4–1.5 eV and a high absorption coefficient exceeding 104 cm−1, CZTS is well suited for both single‐junction ...
