Analysis of the Voltage Losses in CZTSSe Solar Cells of Varying Sn Content [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2019 The performance of kesterite (Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4, CZTSSe) solar cells is hindered by low open circuit voltage ( Voc). The commonly used metric for Voc-deficit, namely, the difference between the absorber band gap and qVoc, is not well-defined for compositionally complex absorbers like kesterite where the bandgap is hard to determine.

DFT Modeling and Impedance Spectroscopy Analysis of a High Performance Zirconia‐Based Solar Cell
Nano Select, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.p‐SnS/n‐CdS heterojunction solar cells with Al‐ZnO/i‐ZnO window layers simulated using SCAPS‐1D and impedance spectroscopy enabled tracking of solar cell parameters. The optimal performance (η = 22.76%, Voc = 0.77 V) was achieved with a 5 µm SnS absorber at Rs = 1Ω.cm−2 and Rsh = 10 kΩ.cm−2.

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 ...

Raman mapping analysis for removal of surface secondary phases of CZTS films using chemical etching [PDF]
, 2016 Raman spectroscopy has been widely used as a non-destructive surface characterization method for the Cu 2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films. Secondary phases, which often co-exist with CZTS, are detrimental to the device performance.

Metastable defect response in CZTSSe from admittance spectroscopy
Applied Physics Letters, 2017 Admittance spectroscopy is a useful tool used to study defects in semiconductor materials. However, metastable defect responses in non-ideal semiconductors can greatly impact the measurement and therefore the interpretation of results. Here, admittance spectroscopy was performed on Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 where metastable defect response is illustrated due to ...
