Chemical bath deposition of Sb2S3 thin films using the mixing solution of SbCl3 and sodium citrate as a novel Sb source for assembling efficient solar cells

Sb 2 S 3 films are prepared by CBD using the mixing solution of SbCl 3 and sodium citrate as a novel Sb source. The CBD growth mechanism of Sb 2 S 3 films is revealed and the CBD growth process is dominated by the nanoparticle formation–adsorption pathway.
