CdS/Sb2S3 heterojunction thin film solar cells with a thermally evaporated absorber

An antimony sulfide (Sb2S3) semiconductor is appealing as a promising light absorber due to its suitable bandgap (1.5–1.7 eV), ‘one dimensional’ crystal structure and non-toxic constituents.

Czts Thin Films

CZTS thin film, a potential candidate for application as absorber layer in thin film solar cells, has drawn much attention in these years due to its excellent photoelectric performance and nontoxic components. It provides a brief description of the development of CZTS thin film for solar cells, and surveys several methods of depositing CZTS films, then introduces the crystal structure of CZTS which is a problem for composition ratio affecting the properties of CZTS thin films. Here we also outline the development and the structure of solar cells based on CZTS thin films.
