Reactive Mechanism of Cu2ZnSnSe4 Thin Films Prepared by Reactive Annealing of the Cu/Zn Metal Layer in a SnSex + Se Atmosphere

Crystals, 2018
Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) thin films were prepared by a two-step process with the electrodeposition of a Cu/Zn metallic stack precursor followed by a reactive anneal under a Se + Sn containing atmosphere. We investigate the effect of the Sex and SnSex (x = 1,2)

An insight into the mechanism of charge-transfer of hybrid polymer:ternary/quaternary chalcopyrite colloidal nanocrystals

Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2014
In this work, we have demonstrated the structural and optoelectronic properties of the surface of ternary/quaternary (CISe/CIGSe/CZTSe) chalcopyrite nanocrystallites passivated by tri-n-octylphosphine-oxide (TOPO) and tri-n-octylphosphine (TOP) and ...

Effect of Cu content and temperature on the properties of Cu2ZnSnSe4 solar cells

EPJ Photovoltaics, 2016
The complexity involved in obtaining pure Kesterite Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) thin film primarily arises due to its narrow region of stability, leading to the presence of unavoidable binary selenides of the constituent metals.

Li Incorporation Induces Surface Chemical Disorder in Solution‐Processed Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 5, 4 March 2026.
Lithium incorporation into Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) thin‐film semiconductors is highly beneficial for solar power conversion efficiencies, although directly visualising its impact on the absorber is difficult. Energy‐filtered photoemission electron microscopy measurements reveal lithium alloying induces surface chemical disorder of CZTSSe, highlighted ...

Electrochemical Formation and Selenization of Ternary CuZnSn Alloys for Growing Cu2ZnSnSe4 Photoactive Thin Films

International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2016
A two-step electrochemical route for the synthesis of Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) photoactive thin films is reported in this work. A ternary Cu-Zn-Sn (CZT) alloy was electrochemically deposited onto Indium doped Tin Oxide (ITO) substrates from citrate electrolyte

CdCl2 Treatment for Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4: A Method to Enhance the Solar Cell Performance

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 271-285, March 2026.
We present, for the first time, two alternative CdCl2 treatments applied to solution‐processed kesterite (CZTSSe) absorbers: pre‐selenization and post‐selenization. Carrier concentration is consistently increased by either route, whereas the band gap decreases with pre‐selenization but remains nearly constant with post‐selenization; enhanced defect ...

Engineering of Double Absorber Organic‐Perovskite Solar Cells for >34% Efficiency with V2O5 as Back Surface Field Layer

Advanced Photonics Research, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study investigates high‐efficiency double perovskite active layer (DPAL) structures using MAPbI3 and MASnI3 to surpass the Shockley‐Queisser limit in single‐junction perovskite solar cells. SCAPS‐1D simulations show that the V2O5‐assisted DPAL device achieves 34.14% power conversion efficiency with improved JSC, VOC, and FF.

Emerging Roles of Inorganic and Copper Chalcogenide‐Based Hole Transport Materials in Perovskite Solar Cells

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In a decade ~7 times, enhanced efficiency was achieved for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) 3.5%–27%. The charge extraction by the selective contacts controls the efficiency. By its performance, the hole transport materials (HTMs) for PSC have attracted worldwide researchers.

Understanding the Effects of Post-Deposition Sequential Annealing on the Physical and Chemical Properties of Cu₂ZnSnSe₄ Thin Films

Surfaces, 2023
Cu2ZnSnSe4 thin films have been synthesized by employing two magnetron-sputtering depositions, interlaced with two sequential post-deposition heat treatments in low vacuum, Sn+Se and Se–rich atmospheres at 550 °C.
