Single phase CuInSe2 (CIS) absorber material is required for producing high quality thin film solar cells, as the presence of impurity Cu2−xSe leads to short circuit of the cells. Traditionally, the deposition of single phase CIS requires the use of a suitable chelating agent to shift the Cu2+/Cu re...
