Due to containing expensive rare metals of In and Ga, CIGS chalcopyrite materials have still not been fabricated as thin film solar cells on a large scale. Fortunately, another chalcopyrite material, Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) has been confirmed as a promising alternative for next generation solar cells. Except for the optical-electronic properties similar with CIGS, CZTS materials have the significant advantage of containing earth-abundant chemical elements. Actually, the conversion efficiency of solar cells made of CZTSSe have been close to 10% (2020 works). To increase this efficiency score the CZTS nanowires have been used as an absorber part for solar cells. I would like to know the simple method to fabricate this nanomaterials with high quality.
I would like to study the different properties (electronic,optic and electric ...)of CTZS solar cells for improving their performances by DFT approach
I think that the link mentionned below is the best for the request of Naceur Selmane :

best regards
CZTS nanowires can be deposited using sol-gel technique and also electroplating method ..
Hello,
You can make use of metal organic chemical vapor deposition technique for depositing you quaternary sulphide thin films. It also gives room for depositing a single solid source precursor. Thanks.
