Advances in Thermoelectric Cu2ZnSnS4: From Structure, Synthesis to Performance
Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Thermoelectric technology has the capacity to directly convert waste heat into electricity and vice versa. For a long time, Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) has been extensively researched in the domains of solar cells and photocatalysis due to its exceptional photovoltaic properties, but its wide bandgap prevents it from being favored in thermoelectrics ...

RF Electromagnetic Field Treatment of Tetragonal Kesterite CZTSSe Light Absorbers [PDF]
Nanoscale Research Letters, 2017 In this work, we propose a method to improve electro-optical and structural parameters of light-absorbing kesterite materials. It relies on the application of weak power hydrogen plasma discharges using electromagnetic field of radio frequency range, which improves homogeneity of the samples. The method allows to reduce strain of light absorbers and is
