Sb2S3 is stable under environmental conditions and a promising semiconductor material for optoelectronic applications, its potential capabilities in solar cells, photodetectors, and other devices are being investigated. It has an indirect-band gap of approximately 1.7-1.9 eV depending on the crystal structure which makes it suitable for absorption of visible light and its use in solar batteries. Sb2S3 can exist in different crystal structures including orthorhombic and hexagonal structures. The crystal structure can significantly affect the electronic and optical properties, which makes it possible to adapt its properties for specific applications using crystal structure engineering. It also has great optical properties and high absorption coefficients in the visible and near-infrared regions of the spectrum and makes it suitable for use in photogalvanics and photodetectors. Although there are various methods for obtaining this material, further research and development are needed to optimize its properties, improve productivity, and explore new applications.
The co-electrodeposition process of Mo with S from aqueous electrolytes was investigated. It has been determined the range of potentials of co-electrodeposition of Mo with S by plotting the cyclic polarization curves on a Pt-electrode. When studying the obtained thin films by the methods of the X-ray phase and Raman spectroscopic (Raman scattering) analyses, it was found that the peaks on the curve correspond to the formed MoS 2 compound.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
