Here we demonstrate that the engineering on the composition ratio enables significant improvement in the device performance. We found that the co-evaporation of sulfur or antimony with Sb_2S_3 is able to generate sulfur-or antimony-rich Sb_2S_3. This composition does not generate essential influence on the crystal structure, optical band and film formability, while the carrier concentration and transport dynamics are considerably changed. The device investigations show that sulfur-rich Sb_2S_3 film is favorable for efficient energy conversion, while antimony-rich Sb_2S_3 leads to greatly decreased device performance. With optimizations on the sulfur-rich Sb_2S_3 films, the final power conversion efficiency reaches5.8%, which is the highest efficiency in thermal evaporation derived Sb_2S_3 solar cells.展开更多

Until now, one can deposit the bulk materials on a substrate by either topdown method such as thermal evaporation or bottom-up deposition from molecular precursors. The latter approach, usually described as solution processing, allows low-energy, low-cost, high-speed and high-throughput manufacturing, and is compatible with a variety of substrates .展开更多
