Copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) thin films are gaining traction in solar cell applications due to their abundance and favorable optoelectronic properties. This presentation provides a comprehensive exploration of CZTS thin films, focusing on strategically substituting metals to customize their optical, structural, and morphological traits.
We systematically examine the influence of metal substitutions like Si, Ge, Cd, and Ti on the structural properties and bandgap engineering of CZTS, shedding light on their potential as absorber materials. Additionally, we offer a detailed characterization of solar cells crafted from Cd- and Ti-substituted CZTS. The incorporation of various deposition techniques underscores the versatility of our approach, providing insights into how fabrication methods impact thin film properties.
This study enhances the fundamental understanding of CZTS thin films, emphasizing their practical significance in advancing solar cell technologies through tailored metal substitutions. The findings, supported by relevant literature, pave the way for the development of efficient and sustainable thin-film solar cells with enhanced performance characteristics.
