摘要: Abstract In this study, antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) thin films had been grown on Mo-coated glass substrate by evaporating metallic Sb film and subsequent annealing in nitrogen/sulfur (N2/H2S) environment. The effects of temperature phases, morphologies compositions corresponding devices were investigated. It was found that the layer cannot be sulfured completely at 320 °C, while amount formed Sb2S3 loss occured beyond 450 °C. with absorber annealed 400 °C exhibited best performance as possessed improved morphology phase structure. This study provides new approach to fabricate possibilities for large scale industrial application solar cells.
