Abstract
As known, Sb2Se3 is an efficient absorption layer in solar cells because of its optical and electric properties. In recent years, the power conversion efficiency of Sb2Se3 thin film solar cells has gradually enhanced. Consequently, the paper provides an extended review of the literature on various technologies for the preparation of the Sb-Se thin-film system from various aqueous and non-aqueous electrolytes and the research into their structure, as well as some optical and electrical properties. Results of research into potentials of co-deposition on various substrates depending upon temperature, pH and electrolyte composition, sources of antimony and selenium, as well as influence of heat treating on nucleation of Sb2Se3 crystals in various atmospheres were also сonsidered.
