Journal ArticleDOI
Classification of lattice defects in the kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 and Cu2ZnSnSe4 earth-abundant solar cell absorbers.
TL;DR: The calculated properties explain the experimental observation that Cu poor and Zn rich conditions result in the highest solar cell efficiency, as well as suggesting an efficiency limitation in Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 cells when the S composition is high.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strategic review of secondary phases, defects and defect-complexes in kesterite CZTS–Se solar cells
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a comprehensive review for optimum growth conditions to achieve efficient kesterite CZTS-Se material under different conditions, complementary characterization techniques to detect unwanted phases, defects and defect-complexes and various approaches to reduce the secondary phases, defect and defect complexes for higher performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

S. Bourdais,Christophe Chone,Bruno Delatouche,Alain Jacob,Gerardo Larramona,Camille Moisan,Alain Lafond,Fabrice Donatini,Fabrice Donatini,Germain Rey,Susanne Siebentritt,Aron Walsh,Aron Walsh,Gilles Dennler +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of anionic (S/Se) distribution and cationic (Cu/Zn) disorder on the open-circuit voltage (Voc) and the ultimate photovoltaic performance of kesterite devices is clarified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanochemistry and nanomaterials for photovoltaics.
TL;DR: This review surveys recent advances employed to introduce new concepts for improving the solar energy conversion efficiency, and reduce the device fabrication cost in photovoltaic technologies.

High‐Efficiency Solar Cell with Earth‐Abundant Liquid‐Processed Absorber
TL;DR: A non-vacuum, slurry-based coating method that combines advantages of both solution processing and particlebased deposition is shown, enabling fabrication of Cu2ZnSn(Se,S)4 devices with over 9.6% efficiency—a factor of five performance improvement relative to previous attempts to use highthroughput ink-based approaches and >40% higher than previous record devices prepared using vacuum-based methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on cadmium toxicity in plants: a review.
TL;DR: This review emphasises cadmium toxicity on plants with regards to ecological, physiological and biochemical aspects and may help in interdisciplinary studies to assess the ecological significance of metal stress.
