Large band bending at SnS interface opens door for extremely effective thin-film solar cells
Tin sulfide (SnS) solar cells have actually revealed immense promise in the thrill to establish more eco-friendly thin-film solar cells. Yet for years SnS solar cells have struggled to achieve a high conversion effectiveness. To overcome this, a SnS interface showing large band bending was essential, something a research group has actually recently achieved.
