Phase evolution regulation of CZTSSe absorbers <i>via</i> a ZnO blocking layer enables 14.45% efficient kesterite solar cells with low <i>V</i><sub>OC</sub> deficit

The one-step phase evolution from CZTS to CZTSSe was realized through a ZnO blocking layer. This prevented the formation of detrimental secondary phases, resulting in an absorber with superior crystalline quality and reduced defect concentration.

Abstract

The one-step phase evolution from CZTS to CZTSSe was realized through a ZnO blocking layer. This prevented the formation of detrimental secondary phases, resulting in an absorber with superior crystalline quality and reduced defect concentration.
