• Progress in thin film CIGS photovoltaics – Research and development, manufacturing, and applications (2017, methodology): “The modified CIGS surface has strong implications on the interface formation and growth of subsequent layers, especially when grown by chemical bath methods [32,60].”
• Highly efficient and stable planar heterojunction solar cell based on sputtered and post-selenized Sb2Se3 thin film (2019, background): “On the other hand, planar heterojunction has been considered as the most appropriate structure for many thin film solar cells with high efficiencies such as CIGS, CdTe, CZTSSe and perovskite solar cell [15-18].”
• New world record Cu(In, Ga)(Se, S)2 thin film solar cell efficiency beyond 22% (2016, background): “The absorber surface treatments with KF are reported to enhance the VOC of the devices [4].”
