Experimental and Theoretical Study into Interface Structure and Band Alignment of the Cu2Zn1-x Cd x SnS4 Heterointerface for Photovoltaic Applications.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To improve the constraints of kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) solar cell, such as undesirable band alignment at p-n interfaces, bandgap tuning, and fast carrier recombination, cadmium (Cd) is introduced into CZTS nanocrystals forming Cu2Zn1-x Cd x SnS4 through cost-effective solution-based method without postannealing or sulfurization treatments. A synergetic experimental-theoretical approach was employed to characterize and assess the optoelectronic properties of Cu2Zn1-x Cd x SnS4 materials. Tunable direct band gap energy ranging from 1.51 to 1.03 eV with high absorption coefficient was demonstrated for the Cu2Zn1-x Cd x
