摘要
There is evidence that interface recombination in Cu2ZnSnS4 solar cells contributes to the opencircuit voltage deficit. Our hybrid density functional theory calculations suggest that electron-hole recombination at the Cu2ZnSnS4/CdS interface is caused by a deeper conduction band that slows electron extraction. In contrast, the bandgap is not narrowed for the Cu2ZnSnS4/CdS interface, consistent with a lower open-circuit voltage deficit. Published by AIP Publishing.
