Abstract Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) is considered a solar cell material alternative to CuInGaSe 2
(CIGS); they have almost the same performance; except for power conversion efficiency …

In the current era, alternative but environment-friendly sources of energy have gained
attention to meet the growing energy demands. In particular, the focus of research has been …

In this study, effect of heating rate and sulfurization time on the properties of CZTS thin films
and their photovoltaic performances was investigated. CZTS layers were prepared by a two …

In this study, we conducted an investigation on the Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) kësterite
compound, which is considered an attractive material for its favorable absorption properties …

The importance and breadth of applications of the family of quaternary chalcogenides with
the formula Cu2ZnSnSxSe (4− x)(CZTS/Se) where x= 0–4 are steadily expanding due to the …

Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 is a promising renewable energy thin film semiconducting material used in
heterojunction solar cells. These films have been deposited at the optimized condition of the …

A successful trial has been accomplished in synthesizing a stable phase of Cu 2 ZnSn 3 S 8
(CZTS 8). The deposited thin films have been obtained by utilizing the chemical bath …

Band offsets limit charge carrier mobility at the interface and diminish power conversion
efficiency in heterojunction solar cell devices. As a buffer layer, CdS often serves as an n …

In this study, the Cu 2 Zn 1-x Co x SnS 4 (CZn 1-x Co x TS) films with partial cation
substitution of cobalt are synthetized by sol gel spin coating, followed by sulfurization …

This study evaluated the electronic structure and optical properties of Fe-doped, Ni-doped,
and (Fe, Ni)-co-doped Cu2ZnSnS4 through the first-principles pseudopotential plane-wave …
