Cover Story: Ternary chalcohalides, such as SbSI, SbSeI, and BiSI, have recently emerged as potential Pb-free photovoltaic materials. The paper presents a simple solution method for fabrication of SbSeI films. Pure-phased SbSeI films with controllable properties were fabricated by a one-step solution-phase method based on the precursor engineering. The (Bi,S)SeI film was also obtained by modifying the precursor solution. These results suggest that the proposed method can be applied to the fabrication of various chalcohalides, as well as to optimize their electronic structures to render them suitable for solar cell applications.
