Towards phase pure CZTS thin films by SILAR method with augmented Zn adsorption for photovoltaic applications

Abstract Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films were deposited from a single cationic bath by Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) method. Regular SILAR route for CZTS had the drawback of preferential adsorption of copper and tin cations in comparison with zinc. This resulted in Cu3SnS4 (CTS)...
