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).

Numerical Analysis of AgInSe2‐Based Thin‐Film Solar Cells Towards High Efficiency

Nano Select, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
In this work, SCAPS‐1D is used to numerically explore AgInSe2‐based thin‐film solar cells. Using CuS, WSe2, and AlSb as back surface field (BSF) layers with a CdS window improves carrier separation and built‐in potential. AgInSe2's promise for high‐performance, stable, and environmentally friendly solar applications is demonstrated by the optimised CdS/

Fabrication of CZTS(Se) thin films by single-target sputtering technique and their relevant application in solar cells [PDF]

, 2016
Cu2ZnSnSxSe4-x（CZTSSe）具有合适的禁带宽度（1.5eV）和较高的光吸收系数（α>104cm-1），且元素储量丰富，是最具潜力的高效率、低成本新型绿色光伏材料之一。但是，CZTS材料组分容忍度和单晶区域很小，存在二次相和元素分解等问题，难以制备高质量的CZTS薄膜。目前，CZTS薄膜器件的最高转换效率为12.6%，远低于32%的理论效率。为了发展高效率、低成本的CZTS薄膜技术，大量的研究工作必不可少。 论文的第一部分，采用操作简便的单靶（等化学计量的Cu2ZnSnS4四元化合物靶材 ...

A Review of CZTS Thin‐Film Solar Cells Using Tandem and Multijunction Structures

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) is an earth‐abundant, nontoxic, and cost‐effective absorber material that has gained significant attention as a sustainable alternative to CIGS and CdTe in thin‐film photovoltaics (PVs). With a direct bandgap of 1.4–1.5 eV and a high absorption coefficient exceeding 104 cm−1, CZTS is well suited for both single‐junction ...

Band-gap engineering of Cu2ZnSn1-xGe xS4 single crystals and influence of the surface properties [PDF]

, 2016
Thin film solar cells based on Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 are very promising, because they contain earth-abundant elements and show high absorptivity. However, the performance of these solar cells needs to be improved in order to reach efficiencies as high as that ...
