This study analyzes the electronic structure of Cu2ZnSn1–xGexSe4(CZTGSe) surface and band alignments of CdS and CZTGSe using the Ge/(Sn + Ge) composition ratios ofx= 0–1 based on inversed, ultraviolet, and X‐ray photoemission spectroscopy. The conduction band offsets of the CdS/CZTGSe interface linearly decrease with increasingx, which are so‐called spike conduction band connections, whereas the valence band offsets are observed to be independent ofx. Moreover, the hole density near the CZTGSe surface increases with an increase inx; this corresponds to the increase in the measured built‐in‐potential withx. However, the open circuit voltage (VOC) saturates to ≈0.5 V forxover 0.2 in spite of the favorable band alignment and larger built‐in‐potential ofxat the interface. External‐quantum‐efficiency spectral analysis shows that the carrier recombination in CZTGSe bulk is suppressed with an increase inx, whereas the recombination near the CZTGSe surface is enhanced. The relationship between these recombination centers, electronic structure, and saturation ofVOCis discussed.
