Resumen:
Solar cell structures with Sb2SxSe3-x and PbS as absorber layers were fabricated on commercial transparent conductive oxide coated glass by chemical deposition. The solid solution with a graded band gap of 1-1.8 eV was prepared by heating at 250°C an Sb2S 3 thin film in contact with a chemically deposited Se-thin film. A PbS thin film deposited on this layer basically fulfils the role of a p + layer; its role as an absorber is yet to be studied. Open circuit voltage of 560 mV and short circuit current density »0.5 mA/cm2 under 1 kW/m2 tungsten halogen radiation are characteristics of these cells. These results may form the basis for developing an alternative thin film solar cell technology. © 2007 Materials Research Society.
