In this study, we explore the influence of defect states density and operating temperatures on the performance of kesterite-based (CZT(S,Se)) solar cells such as CZTS, CZTSe, and CZTSSe. SCAPS codes were used as a constructive technique in modeling all structures. The CZT(S,Se) structures were modif...
