kesterite，或称铜锌锡硫化物(CZTS)，是一种天然矿物，但也可以通过铜、锌、锡和硫的化学合成工艺低成本制备。 先前的研究表明，kesterite可满足高效太阳能电池的先决条件。CZTS技术可以在较长时间内保持其光伏性能，并被视为硅基光伏技术的潜在改进方案。

However, kesterite is still less efficient than CIGS in mass production. The world record for such cells is 12.6%, achieved by Japanese thin-film producer Solar Frontier in 2013.

A group of researchers led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has fabricated a kesterite (CZTSSe) solar cell that achieved a maximum power conversion efficiency of 14.6% and a certified ...

Researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have shattered the world record for the efficiency of kesterite solar cells, which is considered a promising alternative to traditional ...
