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 ...

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 ...
