Theoretical analysis of CZTS/CZTSSe tandem solar cells. [PDF]

open access: yesOptical and Quantum Electronics, 2021
Abstract Kesterite CZTSxSe1−x has a band gap range from 1 to 1.5eV depending upon S/Se ration. The tandem of kieserite solar cell is proposed and simulated in SCAPS-1D for device configuration and analysis of the performance. CZTS of bandgap 1.5eV as top cell and CZTSSe of bandgap 1.1eV as bottom cell are stacked in tandem for the structure ...
