摘要
As a representative of inorganic thin film solar cells, Cu2ZnSn(S, Se)4(CZTSSe) thin film solar cells have attracted much extensive attention, since the constituent elements are rich in earth, low toxic, etc. At present, high defect density of the absorber layer and low open circuit voltage of device are both considered as two key factors limiting the efficiency of device. In order to break though the two difficulties, the researchers developed the substitutions of Cu+/Zn2+/Sn4+ by another cation. This can optimize the film properties of the harmful defects, crystal structure, and band structure, improving the performance of devices. Here, we classify by equivalent and inequivalent cation substitutions to elaborate current research development of CZTSSe thin film solar cells by cation substitution, and summarize their advantage and disadvantage in optimizing performance of devices. © 2022, Science Press.
