A progress review on the modification of CZTS(e)-based thin-film solar cells

Harbi Setyo Nugroho et al.

Summary: The increasing demand for energy due to rapid industrial and population growth has resulted in heavy dependence on non-renewable energy and environmental problems. Solar energy has emerged as a promising candidate for renewable energy due to its unlimited sources and lack of pollutants. CZTS(e) solar cells have the potential to reach the Shockley-Queisser limit with low production costs, non-toxicity, and abundant constituent elements, but their current performance still falls below commercial standards.
