The CZTS films are made by direct liquid coating of solution precursors. A benign solution of propanol and polyethylene glycol as solvent is used. Films of CZTS are prepared by drop casting and spin coating followed by annealing and sulfurisation. The present synthesis need as low as 350°C to form the kesterite phase CZTS films. The presence of secondary phase in CZTS films are not conclusively detectable using X-ray diffraction and hence the role of Raman spectroscopy for the same is emphasized. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
