The Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) has gained extensive attention in thin film solar cells due to their potential as a nontoxic, low-cost, and earth-abundant absorber material, and a rapid increase in power conversion efficiencies has been demonstrated in laboratory. Compared with the most successful hydrazine-based solution process, the nanocrystal-based ink method and non-hydrazine molecular precursor solution approach are more eco-friendly for fabricating high-efficiency CZTSSe solar cells. However, it is hard to obtain a complete large-grain CZTSSe absorber thin film which can facilitate the transport of photogenerated carriers while minimize grain boundary recombination. Here, we present a simple and effective strategy to significantly enhance grain growth of CZTSSe absorber layers by insetting Sb2S3, CuSbS2, and NaSb5S8 thin films. The incorporation of Sb-based thin films can induce grain growth in the selenization process, and did not produce the impurity phase confirmed by XRD patterns and Raman spectra. It was found that the order of the crystal growth promotion ability is Sb2S3 > CuSbS2 > NaSb5S8 under the same experimental conditions. The presented approach can be extended to other solution processes of fabricating CZTSSe solar cells to enhance their microstructural properties, which are critical for applications in CZTSSe absorbers with fine-grain layers.
