Abstract

Kesterite Cu₂ZnSnS₄ (CZTS) thin films with a smooth, compact and crack-free morphology are obtained via a sol-gel method without sulfurization process. Non-toxic ethylene glycol is selected as solvent, while Cu(CH₃COO)₂, Zn(CH₃COO)₂, SnCl ₂·2H₂O and thiourea are used as raw materials. Chemical composition dependence of CZTS films on pre-annealing and post-annealing process is comprehensively investigated. The analysis of energy dispersive X-ray indicates that composition control of CZTS films can be easily realized by the preparation of precursor solution and varying the annealing conditions.
