Fig. 1 (a) shows the X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of undoped and Ge-doped CZTSSe thin films deposited on Mo-coated SLG substrates. The most intense diffraction peak at 27.25, 45.23, and 53.59 correspond to (1 1 2), (2 0 4), and (3 1 2) planes of the kesterite structure of CZTSSe were observed [14]..
Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 (CZTSSe) thin film solar cells are an attractive choice for a bottom cell of the low-cost and environmental tandem solar cells with perovskite. However, the progress in developing efficient perovskite/CZTSSe tandem solar cells has been hindered by the lack of high performance of the CZTSSe bottom cell.
