“…The behavior of σele against photon energy is similar to dielectric loss, but it is gradually decreasing as the Ts increases up to 1200 o C. However, the higher value of σopt as the photon energy increases assures the high photo-response of the sintered samples. This behavior is due to the increase of electron excitation by photon energy and sintering temperature [95][96]. It can also be noticed that σele decreases as the photon energy increases, which confirms the metallic behavior [97].…”

The possibility of synthesis of CZTS thin films on glass substrates from DMSO precursor solutions containing various quantity of copper ions was investigated. The dependence of composition of final CZTS compounds obtained from precursor solutions with different copper ion concentration in DMSO was shown. It was obtained that with the introduction of a low additive of copper ion concentration one can synthesize CZTS thin films with kesterite structure as well as with secondary phases (tin sulfides of SnS, Sn2S3). The increase of the concentration of copper ions in DMSO precursor solution promotes the formation of CZTS thin films with kesterite phase and the minimum content of impurities.

“…High equipment cost for large area deposition of thin films has made vacuum‐based approaches a poor choice. On the other hand, nonvacuum‐based fabrication methods such as chemical bath deposition, electrodeposition, spray pyrolysis, sol‐gel method, spin coating, dip coating, and SILAR have the advantage of economic and environmental cost.…”

A review on growth optimization of spray pyrolyzed Cu ₂ ZnSnS ₄ chalcogenide absorber thin film

Summary The progress of solar cell technology in the development of clean and economic quaternary compound copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS)‐based absorber thin films using the spray pyrolysis technique are presented in this review. CZTS (Cu2ZnSnS4) is the only potential competitor for the existing solar thin film absorbing materials owing to its environment‐friendly Earth abundant constituents. Even though different nonvacuum thin film technologies have been developed for the large area fabrication of this nontoxic absorber material, spray pyrolysis technique offers more versatility in changing the process parameters which has a direct impact on the cell efficiency. It can be used for depositing a wide variety of materials even with complex composition with good crystallinity, and the method has the advantage of being flexible and straightforward to design and can be quickly adopted for extensive area deposition. A survey on the effects of experimental conditions as well as the nature of precursors on the structural, morphological, electrical, and optical properties on the spray pyrolyzed CZTS thin films is discussed in detail. This analysis certainly could provide a potential to obtain new insights in the fabrication of high‐efficiency CZTS‐based solar cells and to launch it into the commercial market to satisfy the ever‐growing future energy demand.
