Properties of Cu-Sb-Se thin films deposited by magnetron co-sputtering for solar cell applications

Corrosion behaviour of heterogeneous antimony-copper layers in chloride media

“…Recently, Cu-Sb-based alloys have been developed and investigated as a promising anodic material for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries, which have demonstrated high safety and capacity, as well as low weight and cost [4,[7][8][9][10][11]. Moreover, Cu-Sb-S and Cu-Sb-Se ternary semiconductors are considered as a sustainable alternative for fabricating lightabsorbing thin-film materials for solar applications owing to lower cell cost and recyclability [12][13][14][15][16][17]. Depending on its purpose, the electrodeposition of Cu-Sb layers can be carried out to form dense thin layers [6,17] or to dendritic morphology and cluster nanoparticles if a highly developed surface is required [5,7,14].…”
