Popis: We investigated the effect of post annealing following CdS deposition on Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 solar cells fabricated from nanoparticles. The fill factor and short-circuit current density of Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 solar cells increase by applying post annealing. Raman spectra showed that the crystallinity of CdS was improved. Electron-beam-induced current measurement revealed that the carrier transport near grain boundaries was improved by post annealing. The improvement of CdS/Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 interfacial properties and carrier transport near grain boundaries causes decreases in ideality factor and series resistance, leading to the improvement of fill factor.
