Solution-processed near-infrared Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 photodetectors with enhanced chalcopyrite crystallization and bandgap grading structure via potassium incorporation

Abstract Although solution-processed Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 (CIGS) absorber layers can potentially enable the low-cost and large-area production of highly stable electronic devices, they have rarely been applied in photodetector applications. In this work, we present a near-infrared photodetector function...
