Device modelling and numerical analysis of high-efficiency double absorbers solar cells with diverse transport layer materials

Results in Optics
Recently, a lot of focus has been placed on cesium lead iodide (CsPbI3) since it is considered a potentially useful inorganic halide perovskite with improved stability. Moreover, another potential absorber material is the mixed chalcogenide CZTSSe, which

Assessing Proton Radiation Hardness of Antimony Chalcogenide Solar Cells

Solar RRL, Volume 10, Issue 6, 29 March 2026.
This paper discusses the effect of proton radiation on the device performance of antimony chalcogenide solar cells. Sb2S3 and Sb2(S, Se)3 solar cells are exposed to two different proton energies (100 and 300 keV) with fluences ranging from 1011 to 1014 protons/cm2.

The Influence of Annealing on the Sb Layer in the Synthesis of [001]‐Oriented Sb2Se3 Film for Photoelectrochemical Hydrogen Gas Generation

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 21, 12 March 2026.
[001]‐oriented Sb2Se3 film with improved crystallinity and adjusted composition is achieved via a new thermal treatment approach consisting of preliminary annealing of the Sb layer before its selenization. The findings of this work demonstrate enhanced charge carriers' transportation, a stable performance, and an improvement of H2 generation from ...

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 ...

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.

Growth and characterization of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 thin films for solar cells [PDF]

, 2012
Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) and Cu2ZnSnSe4 (CZTSe) with their band gap energies around 1.45 eV and 1.0 eV, respectively, can be used as the absorber layer in thin film solar cells.

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 ...

Effects of potassium on kesterite solar cells: Similarities, differences and synergies with sodium

AIP Advances, 2018
Addition of alkali dopants is essential for achieving high-efficiency conversion efficiency of thin film solar cells based on chalcogenide semiconductors like Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) and Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe also called kesterite).
