“…Quaternary semiconducting materials based on the kesterite (A 2 BCX 4 ) mineral structure are good candidates to address this challenge. 1,2 Most PV solar cells are manufactured using CdTe or CIGSe materials; 3 however, the toxicity of selenium (Se) and the low abundance of indium (In) and gallium (Ga) make the production of CdTe and CIGSe more difficult and hence affect the utility of these low-cost quaternary materials.…”
The results obtained in this study support the use of spin-coated CZTS films as absorber layers in thin film solar cells and the use of only 1.5 M copper concentration to achieve an efficient absorber layer.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
