摘要

Antimony ethyl xanthate (1) and barium isopropyl xanthate (2) were synthesised and used as single-source precursors (SSPs) to prepare solution-processed Ba-doped Sb2S3 films. Ternary Sb2-xBaxS3 films (0 ≤ x ≤ 100) mol% Ba and (BaS) film were synthesised by spin-coating the solution on glass substrates and annealing at 550 °C for 1.5 h, and (Sb2S3) films were annealed at 250 °C for 1 h. Compositional, structural, morphological, optical, and electrical properties were characterised by p-XRD, EDX, ICP, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, and resistivity measurements (ρ). (p-XRD) reveals that the (Sb2S3) film has an orthorhombic structure with a dominant (210) orientation. Ba incorporation induced a progressive phase transition; the (103) orientation was promoted at intermediate doping, and it was modified into a cubic (111) BaS phase at higher doping levels. SEM shows lamellar morphology at 50 mol% Ba. The existence of Sb, Ba, and S was verified using (EDX) and (ICP), confirming intact decomposition and phase purity, consistent with the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman results. The optical bandgap (Eg), estimated from Tauc plots, ranged from 1.7 eV (Sb2S3) to 3.85 eV (BaS), indicating tunable optoelectronic properties. Resistivity increased with Ba content. (BaS) exhibited a raised resistivity (18.4 Ω cm), showing reduced conductivity compared to (Sb2S3).
