Evolution of the Cu2ZnSnS4 phase based on the sulfurization-crystallisation duration of the CuS/SnS/ZnS stack formed by thermal evaporation

Journal of Asian Ceramic Societies, 2023
Binary sulfides were deposited by sequential thermal evaporation with the stacking order glass/CuS/SnS/ZnS and subsequently subjected to a sulfurization-crystallization process, considering two thermal treatment time intervals, 5 and 20 min.

An ITO‐Free Kesterite Solar Cell

Small, 2023
AbstractPhotovoltaic thin film solar cells based on kesterite Cu2ZnSn(S, Se)4 (CZTSSe) have reached 13.8% sunlight‐to‐electricity conversion efficiency. However, this efficiency is still far from the Shockley‐Queisser radiative limit and is hindered by the significant deficit in open circuit voltage (VOC).

Ultrathin wide band gap kesterites

Faraday Discussions, 2022
Thickness reduction of kesterite CZTS solar cells down to 250 nm is performed showing relatively small performance loss. The introduction of oxide passivation layers improves performance and a NaF treatment is used to make such back contact conductive.

Calculation for High Pressure Behaviour of Potential Solar Cell Materials Cu₂FeSnS₄ and Cu₂MnSnS₄

Crystals, 2021
Exploring alternatives to the Cu2ZnSnS4 kesterite solar cell absorber, we have calculated first principle enthalpies of different plausible structural models (kesterite, stannite, P4¯ and GeSb type) for Cu2FeSnS4 and Cu2MnSnS4 to identify low and high ...

Topological Anderson Insulator in Cation-Disordered Cu₂ZnSnS₄

Nanomaterials, 2021
We present the first candidate for the realization of a disorder-induced Topological Anderson Insulator in a real material system. High-energy reactive mechanical alloying produces a polymorph of Cu2ZnSnS4 with high cation disorder.

Copper-Content Dependent Structural and Electrical Properties of CZTS Films Formed by “Green” Colloidal Nanocrystals

Electronic Materials, 2022
Thin films of colloidal CZTS nanocrystals (NCs) synthesized using a “green” approach in water with a variation of the copper-to-tin ratio are investigated by Raman scattering, mid-infrared (molecular vibrations) and near-infrared (free carrier ...
