CuSbSe2 Thin Films Deposited from Aqueous Solution by Electrodeposition in One Step

CuSbSe2 belongs to the Copper antimony chalcogenides CuSbCh(Ch=S,Se). An emerging family of absorbers studied for thin-film solar cells. CuSbSe2 thin films have been prepared by electrodeposition in one-step followed by the annealing process in tubular furnace at 300°C for 5min under N2 atmosphere. The reduction potentials region was determined by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry. Then the samples have been deposited by chronoamperometry at different potentials during 1h. The structural, morphological and optical properties of CuSbSe2 thin films were studied by X-ray diffraction, SEM and spectrophotometer respectively.
