SnS1−xTex thin films were prepared by electrodeposition method on FTO glass substrates.
The XRD patterns obviously showed that the synthesized film was polycrystalline.
The UV–Vis shows a variation in the optical band-gap energy of SnS1−xTex films from 1.28 to 1.44 eV.
SnS1−xTex films would be suitable for the absorber layers in solar cells.
The solar cell based on Te-doped SnS has higher conversion efficiency compared with SnS solar cell.
