“…The raw data are listed in Tables 3 and 4 . The Cu-rich, Co – rich and Sn and S-deficient are noticed for short reaction times (1 h–3 h), and stoichiometric chemical composition is observed for nanoparticles synthesized for 6 h. Similar trends were seen in CZTS nanoparticles synthesized by a hydrothermal process [ [1] , [2] , 6 ]. Fig.…”

(CCTS) nanoparticles, synthesized by hydrothermal growth at 200 °C, are studied according to the short reaction times from 1 h to 6 h, respectively. The raw data of chemical composition, XPS analysis, and their electrical properties of CCTS nanoparticles prepared at 200 °C for 12 h with different Cu concentrations are presented

“…2,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Among the inorganic materials, earth-abundant quaternary chalcogenides such as Cu 2 FeSnS 4 (CFTS), Cu 2 -CoSnS 4 (CCoTS), Cu 2 CdSnS 4 (CCdTS), Cu 2 ZnSnSe 4 (CZTSe), and Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) have shown similar electrochemical catalytic activity to Pt and have been explored as a CE materials in DSSCs. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Previously, a solvothermally prepared CCdTS based CE for DSSCs demonstrated a PCE of 4%. 16 Spray pyrolysis and solvothermally prepared CFTS based CEs for DSSCs have shown efficiencies of 8% and, 7.1% respectively.…”
Straightforward synthesis of stoichiometrically controlled quaternary chalcogenide nanoparticles is a challenge. Annealing atmosphere has effect on morphology, elemental composition, electrical properties, electrochemical catalytic activity of the CFTS and CCdTS films.
“…The electrolysis of water to produce H 2 using solar radiation is a clean and green method to produce H 2 . [ 138 ] Various applications based on solar radiation, e.g., photocatalyst for artificial photosynthesis, [ 139 ] solar‐water splitting, [ 140 ] and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) reduction, [ 17 ] are described here. The wide bandgap materials (metal oxides) are generally preferred for designing the photoelectrodes, which can absorb radiation in the UV range and split water into O 2 and H 2 .…”
Recently, Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe)‐based kesterite thin films have received growing attention in a wide variety of fields due to their suitable physico‐chemical asset nano‐ and micro‐scale. The low elemental cost, earth abundance, and environment‐friendly nature have widened the scope and made it a potential material for developing next‐generation technology. The kesterite thin films have already shown their potential in thin‐film photovoltaics (PVs) with a record efficiency of nearly 12.6%. Apart from solar cells, they have also demonstrated their widespread applicability in the field of photodetectors, gas sensors, thermoelectrics, solar water splitting, energy storage, humidity sensors, antibacterial activities, and many more. This review aims to present an overview of the advancement in the CZTSSe‐based kesterite thin films in terms of synthesis, material properties, and their use in various applications. A comprehensive review of each device application contains ongoing progress, device fabrication, and related issues. Furthermore, this review emphasizes kesterite materials and possible solutions to proposed pitfalls, thus strengthening kesterite's perspective.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
