摘要：

We report a highly effective surface treatment method for planar-type Sb2S3 solar cells by employing a Cs2CO3-modified compact TiO2 (c-TiO2) electron transport layer. It is found that surface treatment using a Cs2CO3 solution can shift the work function of c-TiO2 upward and reduce its surface roughness. As a result, compared with the power conversion efficiency of untreated solar cells, that of the treated solar cells with a glass/FTO/c-TiO2(/Cs2CO3)/Sb2S3/P3HT/Au structure significantly improved from 2.83 to 3.97%. This study demonstrates that the introduction of Cs2CO3 on a c-TiO2 layer is a simple and efficient way to adjust the work function of the electron transport layer and fabricate high-performance planar-type Sb2S3 solar cells.
