摘要: Abstract Stoichiometric kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films were successfully synthesized by spray pyrolysis on heated glass under the air atmosphere. The characterization of its structure, morphology, phase constituents, and optical properties done using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectrophotometry, respectively. showed single with a structure. composition CZTS film was basically corresponds theoretical value. Moreover, prepared products morphology size ranging from 200–400 nm.The observed bandgap 1.5 eV matched well bulk material which made them promising candidates as absorber materials for photovoltaic applications.
