SusMat, EarlyView.A stepwise pre‐treatment strategy combining pre‐alloying and pre‐sulfurization regulates the phase‐evolution kinetics of co‐evaporated CZTS absorbers. The engineered intermediate phases promote direct kesterite crystallization, suppress defects and nonradiative recombination, and deliver a power conversion efficiency of 10.62%, representing the highest
