Detailed electrical characterization of nanoparticle based Cu 2ZnSn(SxSe1-x)4 (CZTSSe) and Cu 2Zn(SnyGe1-y)(SxSe 1-x)4 (CZTGeSSe) solar cells has been conducted to understand the origin of device limitations in this material system. Specifically; temperature dependent current-voltage analysis has been considered; with particular application to the characterization of solar cells with non-ideal device behavior. Due to the presence of such non-ideal device behavior; typical analysis techniques - commonly applied to kesterite-type solar cells - are found to be insufficient to understand performance limitations; and an analysis methodology is presented to account for the non-idealities. Here; the origin of non-ideal device behavior is chiefly considered in terms of electrostatic and band gap potential fluctuations; low minority carrier lifetimes; temperature dependent band edges; high surface/bulk recombination rates; and tunneling enhanced recombination. For CZTSSe and CZTGeSSe; the main limitations to improved device performance (voltage limitations) are found to be associated with significant EA deficits (EA-E G) at 300 K; large ideality factors; and voltage-dependent carrier collection; which we associate with the bulk material properties of the absorbers. The material origin of these non-ideal electrical properties is considered. Additionally; for CZTGeSSe; the effect of Ge-incorporation on the electrical properties of the solar cells is discussed; with improvements in the electrical properties characterized for the Ge-alloyed devices. © 2014 AIP Publishing LLC;
