The journal’s Editorial Office and Editorial Board are jointly issuing a resolution and removal of the Journal Notice linked to this article [1], as well as an update to the original publication. Following concerns raised about the integrity of the peer review, the Editorial Office has conducted a post-publication peer review of this article. This process included the recruitment of a new independent reviewer, and it was supervised by the original Academic Editors and an Editorial Board member to ensure full compliance with MDPI’s Editorial Process (https://www.mdpi.com/editorial_process)

As a result of this process, the original Academic Editors, the Editorial Board member, and the authors have agreed to update the following aspects of this publication:

Reviewer reports 2 and 3 were removed from the peer review record, and the new report was uploaded to the peer review record (https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1944/16/7/2806/review_report).
There was an update to the Academic Editors.
The Editorial Board member who conducted this post-publication review has been added.
In Section 1., the Introduction, Paragraphs 1 and 2 have been simplified.
In Section 3.1.1., Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ Growth and Characterization, Paragraph 2, the word “planeness” has been changed to “flatness”.
The formatting of Figure 1 has been updated to improve readability.
In Section 3.1.2., Characterization of CIGS Solar Cells, Paragraph 3, the sentence “Therefore, compared with the solar cell prepared by evaporation [18], the solar cell in this work has a higher Jsc at the same GGI, which may enable it to perform better in the tandem cells.” has been added to the end of this paragraph.
Removed the following irrelevant references [1–3,8,18]. With this correction, the order of some references has been adjusted accordingly.
