AI Article Synopsis
- Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films were created with varying thicknesses (0.35 to 1.85 μm) and micron-sized grains (0.5-1.5 μm) through co-electrodeposition of Cu-Zn-Sn-S precursors with different times.
- A new approach was introduced using a sputtered CdS buffer layer, marking a first step for CZTS solar cell advancement.
- This combination has resulted in significant improvements, achieving solar cell efficiencies of up to 6.6%.
Article Abstract
Cu2ZnSnS4 thin films with thicknesses ranging from 0.35 to 1.85 μm and micron-sized grains (0.5-1.5 μm) were synthesized using co-electrodeposited Cu-Zn-Sn-S precursors with different deposition times. Here we have introduced a sputtered CdS buffer layer for the development of CZTS solar cells for the first time, which enables breakthrough efficiencies up to 6.6%.
