CZTS (Cu2ZnSnS4) is a readily available, cost-effective, and non-toxic material that uses as a material for absorbing coatings on solar cells. This study aims to examine making CZTS using the Ball-milling method. This method uses a cylindrical grinding machine to reduce coarse materials into more delicate fabrics. The CZTS synthesis process using ball-milling produces better results than other non-sputtering methods. In addition, the synthesis of CZTS using ball-milling can increase the yield of better solar cells. However, in ball-milling, there are still shortcomings, one of which is the presence of heterogeneous elements after the synthesis.
