Abstract
Disclosed are a precursor for preparing a light absorption layer of a solar cell including (a) an aggregate-phase composite including a first phase including a copper (Cu)-tin (Sn) bimetallic metal and a second phase including zinc (Zn)-containing chalcogenide, or including the first phase including a copper (Cu)-tin (Sn) bimetallic metal, the second phase including zinc (Zn)-containing chalcogenide and a third phase including copper (Cu)-containing chalcogenide; or (b) core-shell structured nanoparticles including a core including copper (Cu)-tin (Sn) bimetallic metal nanoparticles and a shell including zinc (Zn)-containing chalcogenide, or the zinc (Zn)-containing chalcogenide and copper (Cu)-containing chalcogenide; or (c) a mixture thereof, and a method of preparing the same.
