chalcopyrites [11], or precursors for complex structures, such as nanowires [12]. Silicon, germanium and silicon oxide nanowires, for example, can be formed on different substrates by using metal catalysts in the form of tin, indium or gold nanodroplets [13][14][15]. Such nanometre-sized one-dimensional

donor and the charge separation mechanism across the donor–acceptor interface from the extent of crystallinity of the chalcopyrite semiconductors (CISe/CIGSe/CZTSe). Quaternary CZTSe chalcopyrites with their high crystallinity and controlled morphology in conjunction with regioregular P3HT polymer is an
attractive candidate for hybrid solar cells applications.

Organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices composed of polymer matrices can be regarded as promising third-generation solar cells amongst emerging PV
in bonding an ionic bonding character is present [13]. Therefore, the group-I and group-III metals, i.e., Cu, In and Ga, are frequently denoted as cations, whereas the group-VI Se atoms are denoted as anions in the context of explaining the detailed crystal structure of these chalcopyrites. CZTSe
