Abstract
The film of kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) was prepared on a fluorinated tin oxide (FTO) substrate by a galvanostatically pulsed electrodeposition. The effect of duty cycles on electrodeposition was investigated at 33%, 50%, and 67% duty cycle. For the characterization, the prepared films were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), x-ray spectroscopy (XRD), UV-vis spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and an atomic emission elemental analyzer. According to the experiments, surface morphologies of the CZT precursor appear to be uniform with fewer pores. After sulfurization, the morphologies of CZTS film become more uniform. When considering duty cycles, a higher duty cycle resulted in the surface being denser, more compact, more uniform, and smoother. Based upon the XRD and EDS, the film's composition consists of copper, zinc, tin, and sulfur. The compound formulae is also proved to be copper zinc tin sulfide.
