The kesterite Cu2ZnSn(S1-xSex)(4) (CZTSSe) thin film solar cell has been developed rapidly due to its excellence in structural and optical properties and its abundance in raw materials. Both vacuum-based and solution-based methods have been successfully employed to fabricate CZTSSe thin film solar cells. In this Letter, we report an environmentally friendly, water-based, solution process for fabrication of high-efficiency CZTSSe thin film solar cells. High quality CZTSSe thin film is obtained by selenization under high temperature and Se vapor. An efficiency of 6.2% is achieved on CZTSSe thin film solar cell fabricated by such water-based solution process. ((c) 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
