Abstract
Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is a promising candidate as an absorber material for thin film solar cells. The reported wet chemical synthesis approaches often have a high environmental impact due to the usage of abrasive solvents such as hydrazines, hydroxylamines, etc. We report an eco-friendly solvent based approach for making CZTS thin films with desirable absorption characteristics for solar cell applications.
