Optoelectronically optimized colored thin-film CZTSSe solar cells [PDF]
International Workshop on Thin Films for Electronics, Electro-Optics, Energy, and Sensors 2019, 2019 Rooftop solar cells may become more acceptable if they are colored, e.g., red or bluish green, which requires that a certain part of the incoming solar spectrum be reflected. We implemented and optimized an optoelectronic model for Cu2ZnSn(SξSe1-ξ)4 (CZTSSe) solar cells containing (i) a conventional 2200-nm-thick CZTSSe layer with homogeneous bandgap ...

Revealing the Role of Potassium Treatment in CZTSSe Thin Film Solar Cells [PDF]
Chemistry of Materials, 2017 Potassium (K) post-treatment on CIGSSe has been shown to yield the highest efficiency reported to date. However, very little is known on the effect of K doping in CZTSSe and the mechanism behind the efficiency improvement. Here we reveal the mechanism by which K enhances the charge separation in CZTSSe.
