Bifacial Chalcogenide Thin‐Film Solar Cells: Concepts, Challenges, and Opportunities

Solar RRL, Volume 9, Issue 24, December 2025.
This review emphasizes the capability of bifacial chalcogenide thin‐film solar cells to capture light from both the front and rear surfaces, thereby enhancing energy yield compared to single‐sided operation. This document delineates essential absorber materials (Cu (In, Ga)Se2, S), CdTe, Cu2ZnSn (S, Se)4, and Sb2(S, Se)3); identifies performance ...

Unveiling the Influence of Annealing Temperature on Properties of CZTSSe Nanocrystals

Advanced Physics Research, Volume 4, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract The burgeoning interest in kesterite materials stems from their promising applications in both charge‐selective materials and photocathodes for photoelectrochemical water splitting. Kesterites, a complex class of semiconductors, typically contain copper, zinc, tin, and either sulfur or selenium atoms.

A Comprehensive Analysis of Recombination at Grain Boundaries in High‐Efficiency Kesterite‐Type Solar Cells

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 8, Issue 6, November 2025.
Microscopic analysis of Li‐ACZTSSe and CZTS solar cells reveals wide variability in grain boundary recombination velocities, governed by local band bending and defect densities. Combined with simulations, EBSD, CL, and TRPL measurements highlight the impact of GB recombination on carrier lifetime and VOC losses, guiding future improvements via ...

Towards highly efficient thin-film solar cells with a graded-bandgap CZ TSSe layer. Part II: Piecewise-homogeneous bandgap grading

JPhys Energy
In Part I, we optoelectronically optimized a thin-film solar cell with a graded-bandgap CZTSSe photon-absorbing layer and a periodically corrugated backreflector, using the hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) scheme to solve the drift-diffusion ...

Growth and Properties of Sb‐Ge‐Se Thin Films: A Promising Material for Sustainable Photovoltaic Devices Development

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 8, Issue 6, November 2025.
Sb‐Ge‐Se thin films are grown by selenization of co‐evaporated Sb and Ge layers with energy band gaps from 1.41 to 1.83 eV. The coexistence of Sb2Se3 and GeSe2 is identified by GIXRD, FTIR, XPS, and Raman. First Sb‐Ge‐Se thin film solar cells are fabricated with 1.34% performance, probably limited by the CdS diffusion into the active layer and high ...

SCAPS Simulation and Optimization of High‐Efficient New AZO/MoS2/CIGS/NiO Heterostructure Solar Cell

Nano Select, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2025.
The maximum efficiency obtained is 24.31% for the designed AZO/MoS2/CIGS solar cell structure after optimization. An ultra‐thin strongly doped p‐type nickel oxide (NiO) of 0.05 µm thick and 1020 cm−3 doping density as back surface field is also added between absorber and back contact.
