Towards all inorganic antimony sulphide semitransparent solar cells.

ABSTRACT: NiO, a wide band gap hole-transporting material (HTM), is gaining attention in photovoltaics due to its optical transparency, chemical stability, and favourable band alignment with absorber. This study uses NiO_x nanoparticle-based HTM in semi-transparent Sb₂S₃ solar cells via a simple chemical precipitation method. We optimised NiO_x layer by varying precursor solution concentration and studied its impact on optical and structural properties, composition of nanoparticles and subsequent effect on the performance of semi-transparent Sb₂S₃ solar cell. NiO_x nanoparticles, deposited from nickel(II)nitrate hexahydrate (precursor solution concentrations of 0.2 M to 1.2 M), were thermally treated by two steps at 90 °C for
