Crystal reconstruction and defect healing enabled high-quality Sb2Se3 films for solar cell applications

J. Mater. Chem. A, 2024, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D4TA00734D, Paper
Qi Zhao, Bo Che, Haolin Wang, Xiaoqi Peng, Junjie Yang, Rongfeng Tang, Changfei Zhu, Tao Chen
A post-sulfurization technique has been developed to refine Sb2Se3 crystallization. This process enables high-quality Sb2Se3 with a smooth surface, large compact crystal grains and benign [hkl] growth orientation. It also mitigates the device VOC deficit, owing to the healed deep level defects.
