Abstract

Sb₂S₃ thin films were
prepared on amorphous glass substrates by chemical bath deposition (CBD) at
room temperature. The Sb₂S₃
thin films were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy,
scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The XRD revealed that the as deposited Sb₂S₃
thin film has a different structure compared to annealed Sb₂S₃
thin film. As deposited Sb₂S₃thin film showed amorphous
structures while the Sb₂S₃ thin film became
polycrystalline after annealing at 350 ⁰C for 1h under N₂. The band gaps of the Sb₂S₃thin
films were compared using UV-Vis spectroscopy.
The spectral response of the Sb₂S₃thin film
enhanced after the annealing process. The Sb₂S₃thin
films were subsequently used to make semiconductor-sensitized TiO₂nanowire
(NW) solar cells. The performances of
the solar cells, with the short circuit current density and open circuit
voltage, were investigated. Based on the optical and photovoltaic measurements,
we consider that annealed Sb₂S₃ thin films can be
promising materials for developing solar cell technologies.

Abstract

Sb₂S₃ ince filmleri, amorf cam yüzeylerde oda
sıcaklığında kimyasal banyo depolaması (CBD) yöntemi ile hazırlandı. Sb₂S₃ ince filmleri,
x-ışını kırınımı (XRD), Raman spektroskopisi, taramalı elektron mikroskobu
(SEM) ve UV-Vis spektroskopisi ile karakterize edildi. XRD, depolanmış Sb₂S₃
ince filminin, tavlanmış Sb₂S₃ ince film ile
karşılaştırıldığında farklı bir yapıya sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Depolanmış
Sb₂S₃ ince filmi amorf yapılar gösterirken, Sb₂S₃
ince filmi 350^oC'de N₂ altında 1 saat tavlama işleminden
sonra poli kristal hale geldi. UV-Vis
spektroskopisi kullanılarak Sb₂S₃ ince filmlerin bant
boşlukları karşılaştırıldı. Tavlama
işleminden sonra Sb₂S₃ ince filminin spektral tepkisi
arttı. Daha sonra Sb₂S₃
ince filmleri yarı iletken-hassaslaştırılmış TiO₂nanotel (NW) güneş
pilleri yapmak için kullanıldı. Güneş pili hücrelerinin kısa devre akım
yoğunluğu ve açık devre voltajı ile performansları araştırılmıştır. Optik ve
fotovoltaik ölçümlere dayanarak, tavlanmış Sb₂S₃ ince
filmlerin güneş pilleri teknolojilerini geliştirme konusunda umut verici
malzemeler olabileceğini düşünüyoruz.
