We report the hydrothermal deposition of Sb2S3 thin film on top of CdS buffer layer, and the fabrication of prototype photovoltaic devices utilizing spiro-OMeTAD as the hole transport layer. The as-deposited films were amorphous, which transformed to polycrystalline after thermal processing. The pri...
