The Electrochemical deposition was used to create a quaternary CZTS (Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 ) kesterite thin layer. An aqueous solution of CZTS was used to deposit a thin layer over Indium Tin Oxide. The effects of deposition time (variation) on CZTS thin films under ambient conditions were investigated in th...
