Can antimony selenide films be used to manufacture cadmium telluride solar cells?
However, current devices produced from rapid thermal evaporation strategy suffer from low-quality film and unsatisfactory performance. Herein, we develop a vapor transport deposition technique to fabricate antimony selenide films, a technique that enables continuous and low-cost manufacturing of cadmium telluride solar cells.
Is antimony selenide a promising thin film photovoltaic material?
Antimony selenide is an emerging promising thin film photovoltaic material thanks to its binary composition, suitable bandgap, high absorption coefficient, inert grain boundaries and earth-abundant constituents. However, current devices produced from rapid thermal evaporation strategy suffer from low-quality film and unsatisfactory performance.
Are antimony chalcogenide absorbers suitable for thin-film solar cells?
The search for an ideal absorber layer in thin-film solar cells seems to be a never-ending task. Apart from the solar absorber characteristics, antimony chalcogenide materials are gaining research interest predominantly due to their ribbon orientation and bandgap tunability in the entire solar spectrum.
Can antimony selenide be used in solar cells?
Antimony selenide possess several advantages for solar cell applications but state-of-the-art vapor transport deposition methods suffer from poor film quality. Here Wen et al. develop a fast and cheap method to reduce the defect density by 10 times and achieve a certified power conversion efficiency of 7.6%.
Are antimony sulfoselenide solar cells a solution-based solution?
The success of the simple solution-based process such as the hydrothermal method in growing high-quality solar absorber has led to a surge in research activities focused on solution-derived antimony sulfoselenide solar cells.
