Copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) thin-film solar cells have garnered significant attention in the solar energy sector. This study aims to enhance the performance of CZTS solar cells by replacing the conventional, toxic CdS buffer layer with Zn1−xSnxO (ZTO) for x = 0.2. Utilizing the one-dimensional solar cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS-1D) and info...

Renewable energy is crucial for sustainable future, and Cu2 ZnSnS4 (CZTS) based solar cells shine as a beacon of hope. CZTS, composed of abundant, low-cost, and non-toxic elements, shares similarities with Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS). However, despite its promise and appealing properties for solar cells, CZTS-based solar cells faces performance challenges ...

Non-toxic, environment friendly and low cost Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films were deposited on sodalime glass substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputter deposition technique. Stoichiometry analysis revealed that the as-deposited films were Cu deficient. Hence, Cu capping layer was deposited, to study its’ effect on optical and structural propertie...

Laser annealing is an attractive process to form high-quality semiconductor films because of localized annealing area and short annealing time. In a previous study, a Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) polycrystalline semiconductor film was realized using laser annealing in air as a light absorption layer for solar cells, although the crystallization was not suffici...

The CZTS solar cell has a high voltage deficit due to high interfacial recombination. The detrimental issues of conduction band offset, bandgap narrowing, interface defects and surface inversion at the CZTS/CdS junction are causing accelerated interfacial recombination and huge VOC and FF deficits. We proposed and theoretically analyzed a thin insu...
