Crystal engineering and thin-film deposition strategies towards improving the performance of kesterite photovoltaic cell

Crystal engineering and thin-film deposition strategies towards improving the performance of kesterite photovoltaic cell

With high absorption coefficient (104 cm−1), optimal bandgap (~1.5 eV), low toxicity and the abundance of its constituent elements, kesterite (Cu2ZnSnS4 or CZTS) displays the properties of an ideal photovoltaic material. Kesterite is structurally analogous to chalcopyrite (Cu2InGaS2 or CIGS) and can...
