Abstract
Homogeneous molecular precursor solutions are excellent choices for obtaining smooth absorber layers, and they offer the potential to significantly lower the manufacturing cost of solar cells. Here, we present a thermally degradable metal butyldithiocarbamate-based solution approach to fabricate Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 solar cells. Low-cost Cu2O, ZnO, and SnO were used as the starting materials and were dissolved in the ethanol solution of butyldithiocarbamic acid. By tuning the composition of the Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 thin film, a power conversion efficiency of 6.03% on the basis of the active area has been achieved.
