High-Efficiency Semitransparent Solar Cells Based on Magnetron Sputtered Sb₂S₃ Thin Films.

ABSTRACT: Thin-film solar cells based on wide-bandgap antimony sulfide (Sb₂S₃) offer new possibilities for semitransparent building-integrated photovoltaics. In this report, impurity-free Sb₂S₃ thin films are prepared by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The optimized opaque devices obtain a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 4.6%. A detailed characterization is conducted to investigate the impact of annealing conditions on the morphology, crystal structure, composition, and optoelectronic properties of Sb₂S₃ thin films, which are relevant to photovoltaic performance. Moreover, semitransparent solar cells are fabricated using highly compact Sb₂S₃ films with thicknesses of 40, 60, and 80 nm. Using a sup
