High‐performance Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 ‐based thin film solar cells with a maximum active‐area conversion efficiency of 8% are fabricated by electrochemical deposition of Cu, Sn, and Zn metal precursor layers followed by sulfurization. Preheating treatment for a relatively long time just before the high‐temperature sulfurization has a significant effect on the quality of the final Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 films.
