Thin films of chemical bath deposited tin antimony sulphide (Sn 2 Sb 2 S 5 ) were tuned by varying the deposition time between 1 and 3 h, and postdeposition heat treatments. The films were grown on soda lime glass (SLG) and on molybdenum glass (Mo-SLG) substrates, respectively. The film thickness increased with deposition time up to 2 h and decreased thereafter. Structural analysis from X-ray diffractometry showed that the films were single phase. This was corroborated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy results give antimony/sulphur (Sb/S) ratio and antimony/tin (Sb/Sn) ratio that increased with deposition time in the SLG substrates only. Optical constants extracted from optical spectroscopy measurements give optical absorption coefficient ( α ) &gt; 10 4  cm −1 , and direct energy bandgap with values in the range 1.30 to 1.48 eV. The Hall effect measurements performed on films grown on the SLG substrates indicated that the films were p-type electrical conductivity with electrical resistivity in the range 10 3  to 10 4  Ωcm. The films grown on the Mo-SLG served as absorber layers to fabricate thin film heterojunction solar cell devices in the substrate configuration with a cadmium sulphide (CdS) window partner. The best device yielded a short-circuit current density of 20 mA/cm 2 , open-circuit voltage of 0.012 V and a solar conversion efficiency of 0.04%.
