Multi‐element chalcogenide materials offer property tunability coupled with effective photovoltaic performance, yet are susceptible to cationic crystallographic disordering leading, for example, to large voltage deficit in Cu 2 ZnSn(S,Se) 4 ‐based devices. In article number 1602366 , David B. Mitzi and co‐workers propose multiple pathways to address this fundamental issue within potentially scalable chemical systems composed of earth‐abundant metals.
