摘要

SnS2 exhibits interesting optoelectronic properties, enabling its application as electron transport layer (ETL) in perovskite solar cell. This work used FTO substrate as the sole source of Sn2+ ions, followed by sulfurization to develop SnS2 thin films on the substrate by cathodic electrodeposition. XRD confirmed SnS2 films (hexagonal structure) with 19 nm crystal size, and a preferential orientation in the (001) plane. UV–Vis spectra revealed a direct band gap of 2.06 eV. AFM showed that formed clusters on the FTO surface due to sulfurization. Photoresponse measurements demonstrated efficient charge carrier generation and suppressed recombination, which is as favorable as ETL.
