Abstract
Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) absorber layer for the photovoltaic application was successfully deposited on different substrates, indium tin oxide (ITO), fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) and molybdenum (Mo) using a single step electrodeposition process. The structural, morphological and optical properties of the CZTS films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and photoluminescence (PL). The present study was designed to determine the effect of the substrate on the kesterite thin film properties grown by electrodeposition. The results confirm that the CZTS properties depend on the substrate nature. Furthermore, the CZTS films deposited on Mo substrate was found more appropriate for CZTS based solar cells due to their crystallinity and good morphology as well as their suitable energy bandgap around 1.6 eV.
