摘要
Cu2ZnSnS4 is a potential compound semiconducting material for solar absorber layer in thin film heterojunction solar cells. Chemical spray pyrolysis technique has been successfully employed to deposit these thin films using two different tin precursors. Thin films were characterized by studying their structural, composition, electrical and optical properties. X-ray diffraction pattern reveals that these films exhibit polycrystalline nature with kesterite structure. Lattice parameters of Cu2ZnSnS4 films are found to be a = b = 0.544 nm and c = 1.084 nm. Optical band gap, evaluated from spectral transmittance data, is close to ideal energy gap (1.5 eV) exhibit highest conversion efficiency. Optical absorption coefficient of these films is = 10 4 cm(-1). These films exhibit p-type nature. A humble attempt is made to fabricate a typical heterojunction Cu2ZnSnS4 thin film solar cell.
