Abstract
Antimony chalcogenide solar cells have captured considerable attention in recent years with an efficiency of over 10%, due to their use of Earth‐abundant materials and superior physical characteristics. Despite these achievements, significant nonradiative recombination processes within these solar cells present a substantial obstacle to further efficiency improvements. Therefore, this review delves into the primary mechanisms responsible for nonradiative recombination losses in antimony chalcogenide solar cells. Additionally, the latest advancements in addressing these losses are summarized. Finally, potential directions for future research efforts aimed at reducing nonrecombination losses and enhancing the overall performance of these devices are outlined.
