{"product_id":"9781118437858","title":"Copper Zinc Tin Sulfide-Based Thin Film Solar Cells","description":"Beginning with an overview and historical background of Copper Zinc Tin Sulphide (CZTS) technology, subsequent chapters cover properties of CZTS thin films, different preparation methods of CZTS thin films, a comparative study of CZTS and CIGS solar cell, computational approach, and future applications of CZTS thin film solar modules to both ground-mount and rooftop installation. \u003cp\u003eThe semiconducting compound (CZTS) is made up earth-abundant, low-cost and non-toxic elements, which make it an ideal candidate to replace Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) and CdTe solar cells which face material scarcity and toxicity issues. The device performance of CZTS-based thin film solar cells has been steadily improving over the past 20 years, and they have now reached near commercial efficiency levels (10%). These achievements prove that CZTS-based solar cells have the potential to be used for large-scale deployment of photovoltaics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith contributions from leading researchers from academia and industry, many of these authors have contributed to the improvement of its efficiency, and have rich experience in preparing a variety of semiconducting thin films for solar cells.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078152175856,"sku":"9781118437858","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781118437858_p0.jpg?v=1769888518","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781118437858","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
