Jonathan Scragg documents his work on a very promising material suitable for use in solar cells. Copper Zinc Tin Sulfide (CZTS) is a low cost, earth-abundant material suitable for large scale deployment in photovoltaics. Jonathan pioneered and optimized a low cost route to this material involving electroplating of the three metals concerned, followed by rapid thermal processing (RTP) in sulfur vapour. His beautifully detailed RTP studies - combined with techniques such as XRD, EDX and Raman - reveal the complex relationships between composition, processing and photovoltaic performance. This exceptional thesis contributes to the development of clean, sustainable and alternative sources of energy

Introduction

Electrodeposition of metallic precursors
Conversion of precursors into compound semiconductors
The influences of sulfurisation variables and precursor composition on the development of the CZTS phase
Opto-electronic properties of Cu2ZnSnS4 films: influences of growth conditions and precursor composition
Conclusions & recommendations for further studies.
