Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The kesterite Cu₂ZnSn(S_{1–<italic>x</italic>}Se<italic>_x</italic>)₄ (CZTSSe) thin film solar cell has been developed rapidly due to its excellence in structural and optical properties and its abundance in raw materials. Both vacuum‐based and solution‐based methods have been successfully employed to fabricate CZTSSe thin film solar cells. In this Letter, we report an environmentally friendly, water‐based, solution process for fabrication of high‐efficiency CZTSSe thin film solar cells. High quality CZTSSe thin film is obtained by selenization under high temperature and Se vapor. An efficiency of 6.2% is achieved on CZTSSe thin film solar cell fabricated by such water‐based solution process. (© 2014 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH &amp; Co. KGaA, Weinheim)</p> </abstract>
