Towards phase pure CZTS thin films by SILAR method with augmented Zn adsorption for photovoltaic applications

Materials for Renewable and Sustainable Energy, 2019
Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films were deposited from a single cationic bath by Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) method. Regular SILAR route for CZTS had the drawback of preferential adsorption of copper and tin cations in comparison with

Multiple Synergistic Effects Enabling Efficient Kesterite Solar Cells via Introducing a Cu2O‐Bi2O3 Sacrificial Interlayer

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
The Cu2O‐Bi2O3 thin film as a sacrificial interlayer at the back contact of kesterite solar cells achieves multiple synergistic optimizations in bulk defects, interface defects, back‐contact band offset, and MoSe2 properties. This enhances carrier separation, suppresses interface recombination, and enables DMSO‐processed kesterite devices to reach a ...

Stepwise Pre‐Treatment Enables Tunable Phase Evolution for High‐Efficiency Co‐Evaporated and Sulfurized Cu2ZnSnS4 Solar Cells

SusMat, EarlyView.
A stepwise pre‐treatment strategy combining pre‐alloying and pre‐sulfurization regulates the phase‐evolution kinetics of co‐evaporated CZTS absorbers. The engineered intermediate phases promote direct kesterite crystallization, suppress defects and nonradiative recombination, and deliver a power conversion efficiency of 10.62%, representing the highest
