Interfacial Bridge Bonding Enables High-Efficiency Sb2(S,Se)3 Solar Cells with Record Fill Factor Exceeding 73%
For solar cells, interfacial chemical coordination, carrier transport, and energy alignment play critical roles in carrier transport and determine the final energy conversion efficiency. As an emerging solar technology, high-efficiency Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 solar cells typically utilize cadmium sulfide (CdS) as the interfacial electron transport layer. However, the poor chemical and electrical contact between F-doped SnO 2 (FTO) substrate and CdS presents a significant challenge to improving device performance. Here, an ultrathin SnO 2 layer is introduced, fabricated via chemical bath deposition, between FTO and CdS to address the interfacial coordination and transport problem. The non-invasive depth analysis based on synchrotron radiation X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows that this interfacial engineering approach facilitates the formation of S-Sn bonding at the FTO/CdS interface, which cannot be achieved on the conventional inert FTO surface. Additionally, the existence of an interfacial SnO 2 layer reduces the sulfur vacancy defect (V S ) in the CdS films, enhancing both electrical conductivity and crystallinity. Therefore, the solar cell demonstrates significantly enhanced carrier separation and transport performance. Ultimately, the Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 solar cells achieve a record fill factor exceeding 73%, with a championefficiency of 10.58%. This study presents an effective interfacial engineering strategy to enhance charge transport properties for high-performance Sb 2 (S,Se) 3 solar cells.
