Spectroscopy of Cu2ZnSnS4 nanoparticle inks and Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 solar cells [PDF]
Kesterite Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) is an encouraging candidate for thin film photovoltaic de-vices as it is a direct bandgap semiconductor with a high absorption coefficient. Its constituent ele-ments are Earth-abundant which is advantageous for large scale commercialisation.

Effect of Sulfurization Temperature on the Properties of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 Thin Films
(CZTSSe) thin films were prepared by sulfurization of evaporated precursor thin films. Precursor was prepared using evaporation method at room temperature. The sulfurization was carried out in a graphite box with S powder at different temperatures. The temperatures were varied in a four step process from to .
