Physical routes for the synthesis of kesterite

Journal of Physics: Energy, 2019
Abstract This paper provides an overview of the physical vapor technologies used to synthesize Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 thin films as absorber layers for photovoltaic applications. Through the years, CZT(S,Se) thin films have been fabricated using sequential stacking or co-sputtering of precursors as well as using sequential or co-evaporation of ...

Optimized Rear‐Interface Passivation of SnS Thin‐Film Solar Cells Using a Controlled Germanium Oxide Interlayer for Enhanced Photovoltaic Performance

Small, Volume 21, Issue 51, December 23, 2025.
Tin monosulfide (SnS) thin‐film solar cells suffer from back contact losses, limiting efficiency. Introducing a scalable GeOx interlayer between Mo and SnS improves absorber morphology, suppresses defects, and blocks detrimental diffusion. This rear contact passivation enhances device performance, achieving 4.81% efficiency, advancing sustainable ...

SOLEY: A Package for Optical and Extended Detailed Balance Model for Photovoltaic Device Simulation

Solar RRL, Volume 9, Issue 24, December 2025.
SOLEY is a graphical user interface (GUI)‐based simulation package for photovoltaic cells. It combines optical modeling using the Transfer Matrix Method, and device modeling using an extension of the detailed balance model, which considers various recombination mechanisms, including Shockley–Read–Hall.

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 ...
