In this study, a two-electrode electrodeposition technique was employed to grow thin films of antimony selenide (Sb[sub.2]Se[sub.3]) on glass/fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates. The highest quality thin films were consistently obtained within the range of 1600 mV to 1950 mV. Subsequent electr...
