Effect of the Complexing Agents on the Properties of Electrodeposited CZTS Thin Films

this work involves the synthesis and the electrochemical characterization of CZTS layers. The films were prepared on ITO/ glass substrate by one step electrodeposition technic without using the sulfurization step. By adding a complexing agents, the electrodeposition process can give better results. Therefore, the effect of the complexing agents is investigated. The characterization of the absorber films was done by Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), ICP compositional analysis method, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The KSCN is suggested to be the best complexing agent within the Tri-citrate sodium and the Glycine studied in this work.
