Today's thin film photovoltaic technologies comprising CuInS2 (CIS), CuInGaSe2 (CIGS)
and CdTe rely on elements that are costly and rare in the earth's crust (eg In, Ga, Te) and are …

In the years to come, electricity production is bound to increase, and Cu 2 ZnSn (S, Se) 4
(CZTS) compounds, due to their suitability to thin-film solar cells, could be a means to fulfill …

Abstract Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) is a p-type semiconductor that has been seen as a possible
low-cost replacement for Cu (In, Ga) Se 2 in thin film solar cells. So far compound has …

Abstract Thin films of Cu 2 SnS 3 and Cu 3 SnS 4 were grown by sulfurization of dc
magnetron sputtered Sn–Cu metallic precursors in a S 2 atmosphere. Different maximum …

In this paper, structural, elastic, and dynamical properties of Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 and Cu 2 ZnSnSe
4 are calculated for kesterite and stannite structures using the density functional and density …

Bismuth-based solar absorbers are of interest due to similarities in the chemical properties
of bismuth halides and the exceptionally efficient lead halide hybrid perovskites. Whilst they …

Thin films of copper sulfide (CuS, 200 nm thick) were deposited over thin films of tin sulfide
(SnS, 180 nm thick) by sequential chemical deposition. The layers were heated in nitrogen …

Photovoltaics is one of the most well-known sustainable technologies to supply all of the
world's energy needs due to its enduring nature and lack of pollution. CdTe, CIGS, and a-Si …

The research in thin film solar cells has been dominated by light absorber materials based
on CdTe and Cu (In, Ga) Se2 (CIGS) in the last several decades. The concerns of …

In this work, we investigated structural, morphological, electrical, and optical properties from
a set of Cu 2 Zn Sn S 4 thin films grown by sulfurization of metallic precursors deposited on …
