“…The CZTS absorber exhibits several advantages such as direct energy band gap in the range from 1.4 to 1.6 eV, large light absorption coefficient (>10 4 cm −1 ), economical fabrication process, and high stability, which facilitate it as a very reliable candidate of the TFSC for the commercial production. [24][25][26][27][28][29][30] An efficiency of 6.7% has been obtained for the experimentally fabricated CZTS-based solar cell. 27 Another research work reports the conversion efficiency of 8.4% for the TFSC employing an earth-abundant CZTS absorber.…”

“…Earth abundant raw material and nontoxic nature of the CZTS enable it as a precise absorber candidate for the PV technology to replace other costly and toxic absorbers. The CZTS absorber exhibits several advantages such as direct energy band gap in the range from 1.4 to 1.6 eV, large light absorption coefficient (>10 4 cm −1 ), economical fabrication process, and high stability, which facilitate it as a very reliable candidate of the TFSC for the commercial production 24–30 . An efficiency of 6.7% has been obtained for the experimentally fabricated CZTS‐based solar cell 27 .…”

“…The most common used vacuum and solutionbased techniques are DC and RF magnetron sputtering [5,6], thermal and e-beam evaporation [7,8], pulsed laser deposition [9], spin coating [10], electrodeposition [11], spray pyrolysis etc. [12]. The sputtering method is the more preferable technique in preparation of CZTS thin films because it ensures pure, uniform, more controllable film thickness, and more suitable for large scale production.…”
