In the present work, we report effect of variation of sulfur concentration, keeping the concentrations of Cu and tin constant for all the samples. The ratio of sulfur is varied as (Sn:S) 1:2, 1:4 and 1:6. Structural, Electrical and Optical properties of SnS:Cu films are studied using X -ray diffraction, Raman analysis, Hall measurements and UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy. From X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) analysis, we could prove that even the most inevitable oxygen content present in spray pyrolysis method can be Scire Science Multidisciplinary Journal, 1(1), 7-14 (2017) Research Article SnS:Cu Thin film a green solar absorber: A method to reduce oxygen in sprayed SnS:Cu Ninan et al. 8 controlled just by adjusting the precursor ratio and hence can be used for preparing quality SnS:Cu thin films.
