Simulation of CZTSSe Thin-Film Solar Cells in COMSOL: Three-Dimensional Optical, Electrical, and Thermal Models [PDF]

IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics, 2020
The Cu2ZnSnSxSe4-x (CZTSSe) thin-film solar cells have attracted the attention of researchers due to its earth-abundant composition containing Copper, Zinc, Tin and Sulfur, and Selenide with 12.6% record efficiency (2013-IBM). A 3-D simulation analysis is presented here on the optical, electrical, and thermal characteristics of CZTSSe solar cell using ...

Efficient Kesterite Solar Cells via Scalable Doctor‐Blading of 2‐Methoxyethanol‐Based Molecular Ink

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A new record efficiency of 13.26% has been achieved for doctor‐bladed CZTSSe solar cells, fabricated for the first time from an MOE‐based molecular ink in ambient air. Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) thin‐film solar cells have garnered significant interest owing to their appealing properties, such as earth‐abundant composition, environmental friendliness, high

Influence of reaction conditions on the properties of solution-processed Cu2ZnSnS4 nanocrystals [PDF]

, 2014
Cu2ZnSnS4 nanocrystals were fabricated by hot injection of sulphur into a solution of metallic precursors. By careful control of the reaction conditions it was possible to control the elemental composition of the nanocrystals such that they are suitable ...

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.

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.

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 ...
