General description
Antimony(III) sulfide (Sb2S3) is a semiconductor material known for its unique optical and electronic properties, including a direct bandgap of approximately 1.7 eV, making it suitable for photovoltaic applications. Its high absorption coefficient enables effective light harvesting, which is advantageous in solar cells and photodetectors. Additionally, Sb2S3 exhibits promising thermoelectric properties, making it a candidate for energy conversion applications.
