Abstract

Pure Sb₂S₃ without oxide impurities was formed by thermal decomposition of Sb(thioacetamide: TA)₂Cl₃ precursor. From the analysis of thermal properties of Sb(TA)₂Cl₃, we developed a spin-coating and heat-treatment process to form pure Sb₂S₃ thin-films with controllable thickness due to the formation of insoluble Sb₂S₃ by heat-treatment. Through the spin-coating and heat-treatment process, we could fabricate oxide-free Sb₂S₃ planar type sensitized solar cell with 8.12 mA/cm² of short circuit current density (J_sc), 0.616 V of open circuit voltage (V_oc), 45.9% of fill factor (F.F), and overall power conversion efficiency (η) of 2.3% at 1 sun condition.
