Abstract

Chemically synthesized Sb-doped p-type AgIn5S8 films with several parameters, such as ratios of Sb/Ag in the reaction solution and multiple depositions of films, were grown on indium-tin-oxide coated glass substrates in this study. The X-ray diffraction patterns of samples show the cubic AgIn5S8 phase in these films. The thicknesses, energy band gaps, and carrier densities of these samples were in the ranges of 537-776 nm, 1.71-1.73 eV, and 6.57×1014-8.82×1014 cm-3, respectively. The maximum photocurrent density of samples with an external potential of -3.5 V vs. a Pt electrode was found to be -5.02 mA/cm2 under illumination using a 300 W Xe lamp system. Crown
