Currently, the world photovoltaic production is experiencing fast growth, reaching a record value of 97.5 GWp in 2017. However, less than 5 of this production is in form of thin films, essentially made of cadmium telluride and copper indium gallium sulfo-selenide meanwhile, silicon-wafer based solar cells represent about 95 of the total production. The issues associated with the toxicity of cadmium and the scarcity of indium and gallium might explain the continuously decreasing market share of thin film photovoltaic devices, which are however, needed for more and more applications thanks to its flexibility and lightweight. Moreover, industrials are still at the quest of devices prepared via low temperature processes to make possible thin film deposition on any kind of substrates at low cost.The search for new absorber materials is always attracting tremendous research efforts. Binary, ternary and quaternary semiconductor compounds have attracted considerable attention because of appropriate band gap values about 1-2Â eV with high-absorption coefficient value. Here, CdZnS, Sb2Se3, CZTS, CdBS, SnS, and CZTSSE films have been prepared by using various deposition methods. The behaviors of photovoltaic parameters such as fill factor and power conversion efficiency were discussed.
