ABSTRACT
|
Semiconducting Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) material has been receiving ag reat technological interest in the photovoltaic industry because of its low-cost non-toxic constituents,ideal direct band gap as a absorber layer and high absorption coefficient CZTS thin films have been success fully deposited on to the fluorine- doped tin oxide/glass (glass/FTO) substrate scoated glass sub strates using successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method and investigated for photo electrochemical conversion (PEC) of lightinto electricity.The best solar cell sample showed an open- circuit voltage of 390mV,a short-circuit current density of 636.9 µA/cm2, afill factor of 0.62 and an efficiency of 0.396%under irradiation of 30mW/cm2. Preliminary results obtained for solar cells fabricated with this material are promising. |
