Abstract:
Antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) is emerging as a popular photovoltaic candidate for thin-film solar cells due to its large absorption coefficient, suitable bandgap, nontoxic, and earth-abundant nature. The performance of thermally evaporated Sb2S3 devices is severely restricted by interfacial recombination leading to high open-circuit voltage (V-OC) losses. CdS as electron transport layer (ETL) has overcome this problem, but triggered lower J(SC) issues due to parasitic absorption loss conceding to its smaller bandgap. Herein, a spray pyrolysis method is adopted for the deposition of a uniform and compact Zn-doped TiO2 film with tuned energy levels to facilitate charge extraction and transport. The solar cell fabricated with a modified TiO2 ETL holds superior interface quality, high build-in potential, and suppressed recombination losses, therefore pronouncedly improves theV(OC). As a result, the efficiency of the device is boosted from 4.41% to 5.16%, a recordV(OC) of 702 mV for Cd-free full-inorganic Sb(2)S(3)solar cell is achieved. These findings are expected to be implemented in other Sb-chalcogenide solar cells to further enhance the device performance.
