“…[ 51 ] Courel et al investigated the effects of TER, SRH recombination, and Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 /CdS interface recombination on device parameters through theoretical calculations. [ 52 ] Their findings revealed that both bulk and interface recombination are the primary loss mechanisms that hinder the efficiency of Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 solar cells, while the TER mechanism can be disregarded in this context.…”

As a kind new photovoltaic material, antimony sulfide–selenide (Sb2(S,Se)3) thin films have been considered a promising low‐cost solar cell absorption layer material due to their excellent photoelectric performance and stability. Continued research and development efforts have significantly increased the power conversion efficiency of Sb2(S,Se)3 solar cells over the past few years, which now exceeds 10%. High device performance requires efficient carrier collection and transport. A deeper understanding of the carrier‐transport process can guide the optimization of solar cell designs and materials. Herein, the factors affecting carrier transport combined with the crystal structure in Sb2(S,Se)3 solar cells are discussed. Recent advances in carrier management strategies to overcome the recombination losses are also discussed, broadly categorized into two main approaches: regulation of the absorption layer and optimization of the device interface contacts. Furthermore, the possible future research directions of Sb2(S,Se)3 solar cells are prospected.

“…The previous research also reported that Zn(O,S) and Cd 0.6 Zn 0.4 S can modify the lattice coupling and band alignment of the device. 12,13 On the other hand, the contact of Spiro-OMeTAD, which has a small molecular structure, with the Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 layer enables good hole transport and is thus one of the most efficient hole transport layers (HTL) capable of obtaining the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE). 14 However, Spiro-OMeTAD also has disadvantages, such as complex and expensive synthesis and poor stability in air, which pose a challenge to the industrialization and the commercialisation of Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 solar cells.…”

Sb2(Se1−x S x )3 compounds have been regarded as an excellent absorber in thin film solar cells processing. At present, the best efficiency reported in these chalcogenides of antimony corresponds to FTO/CdS/Sb2(Se1−x S x )3/Spiro‐OMeTAD/Au structure with 10.5%. Herein, a comparative study on the Sb2(Se1−x S x )3 solar cell performance with different electron transport layers (ETLs) and hole transport layers (HTLs) is carried out. The main photovoltaic parameters such as short‐circuit current density, open‐circuit voltage, fill factor, power conversion efficiency, and external quantum efficiency of devices with n–i–p structures are analyzed from a theoretical point of view. The impact of different ETL, HTL, and absorber thicknesses as well as the influence of Sb2(Se1−x S x )3 bulk and interface defects on the final efficiency of the device is investigated. After the optimization of the above physical parameters, it is demonstrated that with the FTO/ETL/Sb2(Se1−x S x )3/HTL/Au proposed structure, efficiency can be improved from 10% to 16%. In particular, it is found that Cd0.6Zn0.4S and ZnO are better candidates for ETL, while the use of NiO and Cu2O as HTL results in increased efficiencies in comparison to the traditional Spiro‐OMeTAD.
