Electrochemical Deposition of CZTS Thin Films on Flexible Substrate

Abstract

In this work, we report some preliminary results concerning the fabrication of quaternary semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) 
\nthin films on a flexible substrate through the simultaneous electrodeposition of elements having different standard 
\nelectrochemical potentials. CZTS thin films were obtained by potentiostatic deposition from aqueous baths at room temperature 
\nand under N2 atmosphere, varying bath composition. Chemical composition and structure of the electrodeposited films were 
\nevaluated by EDS, SEM, RAMAN and XRD. Preliminary results on the photoelectrochemical behaviour of the films will be 
\nalso presented.
