Abstract

With the intermediate band electronic structure, more efficient solar light harvesting in photocatalysis and photovoltaics becomes possible. Here V-substituted In2S3 is synthesized, being the first compound in which the experimental optical spectrum agrees with the DFT prediction of an IB character.
