Kesterite-type CZTS (Cu2ZnSnS4) is an emerging absorber material to be used in thin film solar cells. Here, we report a simple and convenient route to synthesize CZTS thin film by using ball milled metallic precursors; paste preparation by using propylene glycol as binder despite of using too many chemicals which may lead to make it difficult to remove and reduce the chance formation of undesired organic carbon layer. This is a fast and uncomplicated synthesis route for preparing kesterite type CZTS film with promising properties. Samples were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman, EDAX (Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis) and UV-VIS-NIR spectrometer at different stages of work. Ball milling the metallic precursors, formed nano particles with little amount of crystallinity which was revealed from SAED (selected area electron diffraction) pattern of TEM of powder sample. We have fabricated CZTS thin film by Doctor's Blade m...
