We present an optical-design approach that improves the short-circuit current and efficiency
of Cu2ZnSn (S, Se) 4 (CZTSSe) solar cells by tuning the thickness of the upper-device …

One of the most important issues in kesterite Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 (CZTS)-based thin film solar
cells is low open circuit voltage, which is mainly related to loss mechanisms that take place …

This paper presents for the first time a theoretical study of the impact of kesterite/buffer
interface recombination and kesterite minority carrier lifetime on both CZTS and CZTSe solar …

In this work we establish a device model in SCAPS, incorporating bandgap narrowing, short
minority carrier diffusion length and interface recombination. The model is based on a …

Abstract Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) thin films were grown onto glass substrates using pneumatic
spray pyrolysis method under different growth conditions. The electrical properties have …

This work studies dependences of structural and optical properties on the substrate
temperature of Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 thin films deposited onto glass substrates by thermal …

The linear optical properties of Cu 2 ZnSn 1− x Ge x S 4 high quality single crystals with a
wide range of Ge contents (x= 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 and 1) have been investigated in the …

Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is promising for application in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water
splitting systems, owing to its high absorption coefficient, abundance, non-toxicity and direct …

Abstract Earth-abundant Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) is being considered as a potential photon-
absorbing layer for low cost thin film solar cells. Nanostructured light trap** is recently …

We have determined for the first time the device-relevant optical constants of 500 nm and
800 nm-thick Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 absorbers, grown on bare and Mo-coated soda-lime glass …
