Abstract

The copper zinc tin sulphide (CZTS) alloy is a promising p-type earth abundant alloy that received profound attention as an electron driven dark catalyst in electrocatalytic reduction reaction. We report about fabrication of p-type CZTS film with the jet nebulizer assisted spray (JNS) coating techni...
