Highly crystalline photoactive Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin films are fabricated by a simple and low cost spray-pyrolysis technique without sulfurization treatment in toxic atmosphere. The influence of substrate temperatures on the physico-chemical properties of the CZTS films is investigated. The film spr...
