Facile solvothermal synthesis of Cu2ZnSn1-xGexS4 nanocrystals: Effect of Ge content on optical and electrical properties

D. Mora-Herrera et al.

Summary: This paper reports the successful synthesis of Cu2ZnSn1-xGexS4 (CZTGS) nanocrystals using a cost-effective solvothermal method, and investigates the effect of Ge on their structural, morphological, optical, and electrical properties. The results show that increasing Ge content leads to a transition in crystal structure from CZTS to CZGS, and an increase in band gap of resulting CZTGS nanocrystals.

Highly stable ethanol-based Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) low-cost thin film absorber: Effect of solution aging

Ahmet Tumbul et al.

Summary: The study investigates the influence of aging time on the structural, morphological, and optical characteristics of p-type quaternary CZTS absorber materials. The results show that large grain size and solution stability of the absorber material are crucial for solar cell energy conversion efficiency, and the band gap of CZTS thin film shifts towards the optimal energy value, making it promising for solar cell applications.

Articulating effect of low copper content on structure and optoelectronic properties of spray deposited Cu2ZnSnS4 thin films - From experiment and first-principles investigations

Arvind Chavda et al.

Summary: By controlling the copper precursor concentration, high quality spray pyrolysed CZTS films with low carrier concentration can be obtained, allowing for the suppression of secondary phase formation and achieving characteristics such as pure phase, low tensile strain, and high mobility at an optimally low copper precursor concentration of 0.0122 M. Interfacial charge transfer is promoted in this condition, and the modulation of electrical properties through precursor copper concentration on the electronic structure and optical absorption properties is confirmed through first principles calculation.

Investigations of the structural, optoelectronic and band alignment properties of Cu2ZnSnS4 prepared by hot-injection method towards low-cost photovoltaic applications

Bharat R. Bade et al.

Summary: Cu2ZnSnS4 is a promising and versatile quaternary semiconductor for solar energy conversion, with CZTS nanocrystals synthesized using a homemade hot-injection method showing phase-pure tetragonal kesterite structure and optimal optical properties. The small conduction band offset at the CZTS/CdS interface is advantageous for carrier transport, and a deeper understanding of band alignment and interface properties could lead to improved efficiency in CZTS solar cells.
