Cu2ZnSnS4 solar cells with over 10% power conversion efficiency enabled by heterojunction heat treatment
Cu<sub>2</sub>ZnSnS<sub>4</sub> solar cells with over 10% power conversion efficiency enabled by heterojunction heat treatment, Published online: 23 July 2018; doi:10.1038/s41560-018-0206-0
The emerging kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 solar cell offers a potential low-cost, non-toxic, materially abundant platform for next-generation photovoltaics, yet its efficiency has been mired below 10%. Yan et al. now use post-heat treatment of the heterojunction to show device efficiencies that surpass 10%.
