In this present work, investigation on the physical and chemical properties of the quaternary Copper–barium–thiostannate (Cu2BaSnS4) compound was carried out. Cu2BaSnS4(CBTS) thin films were synthesized by using the cost-effective, sol-gel spin-coating technique without further sulfurization. The li...
