Development of Low Cost, EfficientCZTS Thin Films and Solar Cells Daniel C. Ralph, Cornell University, ECCS 0335765 Copper zinc tin sulfur (Cu2ZnSnS4) CZTS polycrystalline thin films were prepared by a non-vacuum liquid-based coating method enabling the fabrication of high efficiency, low cost and toxicity solar cell devices. A particle solution (slurry) was developed using the CZTS constituents, varying the range of composition ratios to achieve a stable stoichiometric kesterite CZTS crystal lattice structure. C.
