“…The average annual solar panel setup climbed by 48% between 2000 and 2013 [6]. In recent years, various organisations have researched the Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) absorber material with quaternary kesterite structure in an effort to determine whether it would be the most promising replacement for CIGS [7][8][9]. This is because CZTS technology uses raw materials at a significantly lower cost than CIGS technology, which is more financially viable [10].…”

This paper explores the impact of CZTS based solar cells using zinc magnesium oxide (Zn1-XMgXO) as a buffer layer and CuI (Copper iodide) as the hole transport layer using through SCAPS-1D(Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator) simulator. In the proposed work, the cell characteristics of the CZTS absorber layer, including electron affinity, defect density, and acceptor concentration, have been tuned. In addition, the study examines the effects of CBO which enhances the transfer of charge carriers by optimizing band alignment, Series resistance(Rs), Shunt resistance(Rsh), and Work Function (WF) of the metal contacts on the solar cell's performance. From structures, CZTS/Zn1-XMgXO with x =0.0652 demonstrated the highest PCE of 32.63% improvement in open circuit Voltage (Voc) =1.0885 Volts, Short circuit density (Jsc) = 33.89, and fill factor (FF) = 88.43%.

“…Its band gap is about 1.4-1.7 eV (Malerba et al 2014). Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 has shown to be an excellent light energy-harvesting material for solar cells and good chemical stability in the photodegradation of organics (Arbouz et al 2017;Hou et al 2014;Barpuzary et al 2015).…”

Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 QDs (5-7 nm) were synthesized by chemical coprecipitation route. Using prepared Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 QDs, a new type of BiOCl-Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 heterostructures were prepared using bismuth nitrate as a precurssor and potassium chloride as a source of chlorine at 100 °C, 4 h. BiOCl-Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 heterostructures were analyzed by XRD, TEM, UV-visible NIR, PL and surface area studies. The diffracted peaks of BiOCl-Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 heterostructure show the presence of tetragonal BiOCl and did not show the intense peaks of Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 QDs. TEM images of BiOCl-Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 showed the deposition of Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 QDs on the BiOCl microsphere surface. The surface area of BiOCl, Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 and BiOCl-Cu 2 ZnSnS 4-1 was of 1.91 m 2 /g, 3.06 m 2 /g and 13.39 m 2 /g, respectively. BiOCl-Cu 2 ZnSnS 4-1 had a higher photodegradation rate for Congo red dye than BiOCl and Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 QDs under sunlight, and that higher photoactivity was due to the heterostructure effect between BiOCl and Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 QDs along with increased optical absorption in the visible region. Scavenger study endorses the involvement of superoxide and holes radicals in the degradation of Congo red.
