Abstract

Extremely Thin Absorber (ETA) solar cells were made using chemical-bath-deposited Sb<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub> as the absorber and TiO<sub>2</sub>/CuSCN as the interpenetrating electron/hole conductors. A solar conversion efficiency of 3.37% at 1 sun illumination was obtained. Surface oxidation of the Sb<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub> formed a passivation layer on Sb<sub>2</sub>S<sub>3</sub>: without this oxidation, much poorer cells were obtained. Preliminary stability measurements showed good stability over 3 days of illumination (at 60 mW/cm<sup>2</sup>) under load.
