In₂S₃ is a stable semiconductor material with low toxicity. We prepared In₂S₃ sensitized solar cells using low-cost chemical bath deposition methodology. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to reveal the microstructure of the In₂S₃ sensitized TiO₂ nanoporous films. Our results indicated that the deposition temperature has a remarkable effect on the morphology of In₂S₃ sensitized TiO₂ films, which in turn affects the photovoltaic performance of devices. When the deposition temperature was low, the deposition reaction rate was slow, resulting in only minimal deposition. However, if the deposition temperature was increased too much, there was insufficient time for the In₂S₃ to be deposited within the internal pore structure of the TiO₂ mesoporous films. The best homogeneous In₂S₃ sensitized TiO₂ films were obtained with a deposition temperature of 40℃. At this temperature, the optical absorption of the resulting film was optimal and displayed the largest short circuit current density among the films examined. Moreover, the fill factor was also the best, approaching 65%. The best overall power conversion efficiency was 0.32%.
