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 ...

Band Alignment Engineering of Cu‐Based Hole Transport Layers for High‐Efficiency CZTS Thin‐Film Solar Cells: A SCAPS‐1D Simulation Analysis

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 ...

A Comprehensive Analysis of Recombination at Grain Boundaries in High‐Efficiency Kesterite‐Type Solar Cells

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 8, Issue 6, November 2025.
Microscopic analysis of Li‐ACZTSSe and CZTS solar cells reveals wide variability in grain boundary recombination velocities, governed by local band bending and defect densities. Combined with simulations, EBSD, CL, and TRPL measurements highlight the impact of GB recombination on carrier lifetime and VOC losses, guiding future improvements via ...
