Investigation of Ni as Zn substitute in CZTS thin film solar cell by Quek, Ka Jun

“…In addition, two spray methods (dynamic and static mode) were also investigated based on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and current-voltage characteristics to find the best method to synthesize CNZTS. The highest efficiency achieved was around 5.45% for pure Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) device using static mode, meanwhile the nickel-substituted samples behave like a metal instead of semiconductor when the Ni is substituted. …”
