Sb2S3-Based Mesoscopic Solar Cell using an Organic Hole Conductor

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: Solid-state nanocrystalline solar cells composed of chemical-bath-deposited Sb 2 S 3 (antimony sulfide) as a light-absorber layer deposited on nanoporous TiO 2 and spiro-MeOTAD as an organic hole-transporting material yielded a solar conversion efficiency of 5.2% at 0.1 sun illumination and a peak 88% of the incident monochromatic photon-to-current conversion efficiency.
