“…[44] The perspective view of Sb 2 S 3 crystal structure is depicted in Figure 2a. The Sb 2 S 3 structure consists of infinite (Sb 4 S 6 ) n chains (ribbons) along the [001] orientation which link together to form zigzag sheets perpendicular to a [100] plane. In the Sb 2 S 3 crystal, the single ribbon consists of two trigonal SbS 3 and two SbS 5 square pyramids, both of which have slightly different bond lengths due to the distinct coordination conditions.…”

“…In the Sb 2 S 3 crystal, the single ribbon consists of two trigonal SbS 3 and two SbS 5 square pyramids, both of which have slightly different bond lengths due to the distinct coordination conditions. Notably, experimental observations have shown that single crystals can readily be cleaved in the direction perpendicular to the [100] plane. [54,55] An overview of the Sb 2 S 3 structure has been well described in previous literature.…”

“…There are four important doping positions, namely at the surface, at the grain boundary, in the lattice by replacing host atoms, and interstitial. The doping effects in Sb 2 S 3 absorbers for thin films [48,50,91,96,97] and solar cells [25,49,71,[98][99][100][101][102][103] are discussed below.…”

“…Apart from this limitation, the research also found that Bi i will cause a deep carrier recombination center level in the band gap. These factors may be the reason for the poor PV performances of Bi doped Sb 2 S 3 solar cells by Ito et al [49] Another study of Ti doping in Sb 2 S 3 solar cells with planar geometry was reported by Ma et al [100] who fabricated devices with FTO/c-TiO 2 /Ti:Sb 2 S 3 /P3HT/Al structure. For Ti doping, TiCl 4 was introduced into SbCl 3 -TU precursor solution, which was then spin coated and annealed at 300 °C for 10 min in Ar atmosphere.…”

Sb2S3 is an attractive solar absorber material that has garnered tremendous interest because of its fascinating properties for solar cells including suitable band gap, high absorption coefficient, earth abundance, and excellent stability. Over the past several years, intensive efforts have been made to enhance the photovoltaic efficiencies of Sb2S3 solar cells using many promising approaches including interfacial engineering, surface passivation, additive engineering, and band‐gap engineering of the charge transport layers and active light absorbing Sb2S3 materials. Recently, doping strategies in Sb2S3 light absorbers have gained attention as they promise to play important roles in controlling band gap, regulating film morphology, and passivating grain boundaries, and thus resulting in enhanced carrier transport, which is one of the most challenging issues in this cutting‐edge research field. In this review, after a brief introduction to Sb2S3, an overview of Sb2S3 solar cells and their fundamental properties are provided. Recent advances in doping strategies in Sb2S3 thin films and solar cells are then discussed to provide in‐depth understanding of the effects of various dopants on the photovoltaic properties of Sb2S3 materials. In conclusion, the personal perspectives and outlook to the future development of Sb2S3 solar cells are provided.
