Abstract

Each type of ink is designed for specific applications, and each has its own characteristics, such as composition, color, electrical conductivity, and others. It is important to note that the use of inks in the manufacturing of photovoltaic solar cells has been a significant milestone in the evolution of inks. In this context, the production and characterization of ink containing kesterite precursors are reported here. Based on electrical characterization, it is observed that the ink exhibits electrical conductivity. Through the photovoltaic characterization of the dye-sensitized solar cell containing the ink layer, it is inferred that the ink has the potential for use as an electrolyte.

Keywords
