Abstract
Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) based thin-film photovoltaic (PV) cells are suitable candidates for PV cells since CZTS (as absorber material) has an easily tunable bandgap, is nontoxic and economical. Using the Back Surface Field (BSF) layer is one of the primary methods of upgrading the efficiency of PV cells. The BSF layer reduces the wastage of photo-generated electrons at the back recombination sink, and hence improves the efficiency of the cell. Engineering Mo/CZTS interface is very crucial for the performance of PV devices
