International Journal of Photoenergy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The practical efficiency of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin‐film solar cells remains constrained by unfavorable band alignment, high defect densities, and inefficient charge extraction at interfaces. This study numerically investigates and optimizes CZTS‐based solar cells by evaluating four Cu‐based hole transport layers (HTLs)—Cu2O, CuO, CuI, and CuSCN—to ...

Potential fluctuations on CZTSSe solar cells admittance
, 2016 The Cu2ZnSn(SxSe1-x)4 (CZTSSe) kesterite compounds have proven their interest for next more friendly environment thin film solar cell technologies, compared to CuInxGa1-x(SSe)2 (CIGS) devices, currently in production, as they are composed of earth-abundant and non-toxic elements. However, an open-circuit voltage lower than expected is commonly reported

Zn1−xMg xO thin films as a sustainable layer for CZTSSe solar cells
JPhys EnergyTraditionally, CdS serves as the buffer layer in Cu _2 ZnSn(S,Se) _4 (CZTSSe) solar cells, but poses issues such as toxicity, optical losses, and a suboptimal conduction band offset (CBO). This study explores the use of Zn _1− _x Mg _x O (ZMO, 0 ⩽ x ⩽ 1)
