Pure Sulfide Cu2ZnSnS4 Thin Film Solar Cells Fabricated by Preheating an Electrodeposited Metallic Stack

High‐performance Cu2ZnSnS4‐based thin film solar cells with a maximum active‐area conversion efficiency of 8% are fabricated by electrochemical deposition of Cu, Sn, and Zn metal precursor layers followed by sulfurization. Preheating treatment for a relatively long time just before the high‐temperat...

Description
Summary:High‐performance Cu2ZnSnS4‐based thin film solar cells with a maximum active‐area conversion efficiency of 8% are fabricated by electrochemical deposition of Cu, Sn, and Zn metal precursor layers followed by sulfurization. Preheating treatment for a relatively long time just before the high‐temperature sulfurization has a significant effect on the quality of the final Cu2ZnSnS4 films.
