Abstract
Chromatic spraying of NiCoO2 to change the transparency of glass with a Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 photocell
Incoming article date: 07.07.2023A review of studies of photovoltaic chromatic devices for regulating the transparency of glass and simultaneous generation of electrical energy through an internal photoelectric effect is given. Devices based on thin-film heterostructures with kesterite as a photocell are considered in detail. Kesterite is an absorbing material consisting of copper, tin, zinc, sulfur and selenium, a new promising material for creating "smart" glazing with adjustable transparency. The energy characteristics of coatings based on kesterite are compared with coatings of other types. The prospects of kesterite as a basis for creating effective autonomous photovoltaic windows of adjustable transparency are shown.
