Abstract

An aqueous solution approach, integrating atomic layer deposition and chemical vapor deposition, is proposed to grow a high-quality Sb₂S₃ thin film. The Sb₂S₃ thin film is uniform and dense with a bandgap of 1.78 eV. The photocurrent density of the Sb₂S₃ sensitized TiO₂ array electrode is 40 μA cm⁻², which is nearly 25 and 93 times than that of TiO₂ and Sb₂S₃ photoanodes, respectively.
