Synthesis of Cu2ZnSnS4 Nanocrystals for Use in Low-Cost Photovoltaics
Abstract
Cu(2)ZnSnS(4) (CZTS) is a promising new material for thin-film solar cells. Nanocrystal dispersions, or solar paints, present an opportunity to significantly reduce the production cost of photovoltaic devices. This communication demonstrates the colloidal synthesis of CZTS nanocrystals and their use in fabricating prototype solar cells with a power conversion efficiency of 0.23% under AM 1.5 illumination.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
