Band Gap Tuning of Cu2ZnGeSxSe4-x Absorbers for Thin-Film Solar Cells

In this work, kesterite-type Cu2ZnGeSxSe4-x absorbers were prepared by a two-step process for use in thin-film solar cells. Their high band gap makes them an interesting candidate as top cells in multijunction solar cells. However, an exact tuning of the band gap is essential. Therefore, for the fir...
