Copper zinc tin sulfide (kesterite, Cu2ZnSnS4, CZTS) is a promising earth-abundant and non-toxic material for thin-film solar cells. The efficiency of CZTS solar cells can be further improved by reducing the JSC loss due to the parasitic absorption of short wavelength (<520 nm) photons in thick C...
