TL;DR: This work correlates the crystalline structure of the binary ZnS nanoparticles with those of ternary Cu-In-S nanocrystals, demonstrating the feasibility of making their alloyed or core/shell structure.

TL;DR: The data presented offer additional support for the hypothesis that zeolite crystals alter polyamide thin film structure when they are present during the interfacial polymerization reaction.

TL;DR: A novel solution-based approach is presented to process earth-abundant Cu(2)ZnSn(S,Se)(4) absorbers using fully dissolved CZTS precursors in which each of the elemental constituents intermix on a molecular scale to enable low-temperature processing of chemically clean kesterite films with excellent homogeneity.

TL;DR: In this article, a low-temperature solution-processed CuInSSe photovoltaic cell was reported, which was solution-deposited via spin-coating from a precursor solution consisting of metal chalcogenides (Cu2S and In2Se3) dissolved in hydrazine (N2H4).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of the current status of hydrazine-based CIGS solar-cell fabrication, including the three major steps of this deposition process: dissolution of the precursor materials, deposition of a film from the resulting precursor solution, and the completion and characterization of a photovoltaic device following absorber deposition.
