    Despite the fact that antimony triselenide (Sb2Se3) thin‐film solar cells have undergone rapid development in recent years, the large open‐circuit voltage (VOC) deficit still remains as the biggest bottleneck, as even the world‐record device suffers from a large VOC deficit of 0.59 V. Here, an effective interface engineering approach is reported where the Sb2Se3/CdS heterojunction (HTJ) is subjected to a post‐annealing treatment using a rapid thermal process. It is found that nonradiative recombination near the Sb2Se3/CdS HTJ, including interface recombination and space charge region recombination, is greatly suppressed after the HTJ annealing treatment. Ultimately, a substrate Sb2Se3/CdS thin‐film solar cell with a competitive power conversion efficiency of 8.64% and a record VOC of 0.52 V is successfully fabricated. The device exhibits a much mitigated VOC deficit of 0.49 V, which is lower than that of any other reported efficient antimony chalcogenide solar cell. A heterojunction post‐annealing treatment is utilized to suppress the nonradiative recombination for a highly competitive power conversion efficiency of 8.64% and a record open‐circuit voltage (VOC) of 520 mV in Sb2Se3 thin‐film solar cells. The VOC deficit of the device is lower than that of any other reported efficient antimony chalcogenide solar cells.
