Abstract
Disclosed herein are thin film solar cells comprising antimony chalcogenide layers deposited via close spaced sublimation, and methods of making thereof.
Claims19
A thin film solar cell comprising:
- a first electrode comprising a transparent conducting oxide;
- a buffer layer disposed on the first electrode;
- an antimony chalcogenide layer deposited via close spaced sublimation on the buffer layer, such that the buffer layer is disposed between the antimony chalcogenide layer and the first electrode;
- and
- a second electrode in electrical contact with the antimony chalcogenide layer, such that the antimony chalcogenide layer is disposed between the second electrode and the buffer layer;
- wherein the thin film solar cell has an efficiency of 4% or more.
