The Ag/SnS film significantly improves the reliable photocurrent density (<em>J</em><sub>SC</sub>), photoconversion efficiency, long-term stability due to high transfer carriers of Ag/SnS, suppressed leakage current, and low surface resistance based on sufficient ohmic contact. The Ag/SnS film-based solar cell obtains a power conversion efficiency (<em>h</em>) of 4.83% with a short circuit current density (<em>J</em><sub>SC</sub>) of 15.1 mA/cm<sup>2</sup> and open-circuit voltage <em>(V</em><sub>OC</sub>) of 0.5 V at room temperature. Based on these findings, we propose a potential application of noble metals on the SnS film for enhancing the efficiency and long-term stability of SnS film–based solar cells.</p> ER -
