A study of bandgap-graded CZTGSe kesterite thin films for solar cell applications

The sustainable and harmless Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 kesterite materials for thin-film photovoltaics are still lacking efficiency, which may be solved by bandgap grading, herein obtained by two-step annealing in H2Se gas of metallic precursors.
