High-speed electrodeposition of copper–tin–zinc stacks from liquid metal salts for Cu2ZnSnSe4 solar cells

Abstract

Cu2ZnSnSe4-based solar cells with 5.5% power conversion efficiency were fabricated from Cu/Sn/Zn stacks electrodeposited from liquid metal salts. These electrolytes allow metal deposition rates one order of magnitude higher than those of other deposition methods.
