The stacks were pretreated at different tem- peratures （200℃, 300 ℃, 350 ℃, and 400 ℃） for 0.5 h and then followed by sulfurization at 500℃ for 2 h. Then, the structures, morphologies, and optical properties of the as-obtained Cu2ZnSnS4 （CZTS） films were studied by x-ray diffraction （XRD）, Raman spectroscopy, UV-Vis-NIR, scanning electron microscope （SEM）, and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy （EDX）. The XRD and Raman spectroscopy results indicated that the sample pretreated at 350℃ had no secondary phase and good crystallization. At the same time, SEM confirmed that it had large and dense grains. According to the UV-Vis-NIR spectrum, the sample had an absorption coefficient larger than 10^4 cm-1 in the visible light range and a band gap close to 1.5 eV.展开更多
