Cu2ZnSnSe4 thin film solar cells produced by selenisation of magnetron sputtered precursors
This paper reports results from collaboration with Bath University (EPSRC PV21 SUPERGEN (GR/S86341/01 & EP/F029624/1). It reports our pioneering UK device making, more than twice the previous world record Cu2ZnSnSe4 device efficiency. It was referenced by the IBM group’s subsequent breakthrough research that identified the importance of adding selenium to their sulphide to increase material/device quality (doi:10.1016/j.solmat.2010.11.028).
