Research Abstract

Preparation of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) solar cells by non-vacuum process was investigated. The CZTS is a promising material for the absorbing layer of thin film solar cells because all constituent elements of CZTS are abundant in the crust of the Earth and nontoxic. The efficiency of the CZTS solar cell was improved by sulfurization with low concentration hydrogen sulfide and the process that immersed CZTS thin films in the aqueous contained Cd ions before buffer layer deposition.
