Solar cells were prepared on glass substrates sputtered with ITO (Psiotec Ltd), which were cleaned in acetone and isopropanol in an ultrasonic bath. Next, a planar TiO2 and also a SnS layer were prepared as described above. Afterwards, the nanostructured SnS layer was infiltrated with P3HT (Plexcore OS 2100) by spin coating a P3HT solution (17.25 mg in chlorobenzene) onto the SnS layer having a 30 s waiting time between applying the polymer solution and spinning (2000 rpm). The solar cell preparation was finished by thermal evaporation of a MoO3 layer (10 nm) and an Ag layer (100 nm) on top of the SnS/P3HT layer.
