摘要：

Cu2ZnSnS4(CZTS) kesterite stands out for its high absorption coefficient and direct optical bandgap, making it a promising absorber material for thin-film photovoltaic cells, combining high efficiency and low cost. CZTSSebased solar cells currently achieve conversion efficiencies of 15.1%. With more than 3700 publications since 1988, mainly focusing on fabricating CZTS thin films by various techniques, this study looks more specifically at the synthesis of CZTS by electrodeposition. This method recently achieved an efficiency of 8.7%. This approach stands out for its ability to deposit composite metal alloys on large surfaces with controlled thickness. The study explores the impact of synthesis parameters on the physical, chemical, and morphological properties of CZTS films and their influence on solar cell efficiency. Finally, current challenges and prospects are discussed, opening perspectives for advances in synthesizing and applying CZTS thin films for photovoltaic technologies.
