The successful isolation of phosphorene (atomic layer thick black phosphorus) in 2014 has
currently aroused the interest of 2D material researchers. In this review, first, the …

The pioneering exfoliation of monolayer tungsten diselenide has greatly inspired
researchers toward semiconducting applications. WSe2 belongs to a family of transition …

Waste heat is generated in solar cells during the daytime because they operate with a
limited electrical efficiency. Moreover, the generated heat increases the solar cells' operating …

One of the main issues that limits the efficiency of kesterite solar cells is the low diffusion and
chemical activity of selenium clusters. Here, this work proposes a simple and effective pre …

Due to the low toxicity and abundance of nature, Cu 2 ZnSn (S, Se) 4 (CZTSSe) has been
considered as a promising solar cell material. The absorber is the most critical structure in a …

This work presents the development of a novel chalcogenization process for the fabrication
of Cu2ZnSn (S, Se) 4 (CZTSSe or kesterite)-based solar cells that enable the generation of …

The development of flexible Cu (In, Ga) Se 2 (CIGS) solar cells opens new markets for
indoor and outdoor applications, and thus has become one of the major directions for …

The extra heat generated by solar cells during the daytime will inevitably erode its efficiency
and shorten working lifetime. In this work, a grating-textured polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) …

Thermally evaporated Se, including the molecules of Se2, Se5, Se6, Se7, and Se8 in the
vapor at 550–600° C, is widely used for the selenization of CZTSSe films. However, active …

Se-rich selenization offers remarkable benefits for grain growth of Cu 2 ZnSn (S, Se) 4
(CZTSSe) absorber layers, which is critical for solar cells fabrication. However, low-activity …
