AB  - This research reports the deposition of fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) thin
      films, which were used as conducting electrodes for the deposition of Cu2CoSnS4
      (CCTS) thin films, with an indigenously designed spray pyrolysis setup. Both FTO
      and CCTS thin films have been deposited using the chemical spray pyrolysis
      method. The CCTS thin films were deposited with a constant quantity of the
      precursor solution of 80 ml. The deposition temperature was 350 °C for CCTS thin
      films, and the ratio of cations to anions was 1:7 in the precursor solution. The
      deposited CCTS thin films were studied using X-ray diffraction, scanning
      electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Additionally, the photoactivity
      study was carried out. It was obtained that the efficiency of
      photoelectrochemical solar cells fabricated with a thiourea concentration of 1:7
      for cations is 2.33%.
