Sb2Se3 is a very promising photovoltaic material because of its attractive material, optical and electrical properties. In this paper, Sb2Se3 has been synthesized by dry ball milling from Sb and Se powders. It has been found out that a single phase Sb2Se3 can be achieved after six hours of dry milling under argon atmosphere. XRD, Raman, FE-SEM and EDAX analyses confirmed the existence of the single phase. The present study opens a new avenue to low-cost, large-scale synthesis of high-quality semiconductor with technological applications in solar energy conversion and also for a wide range of optical devices.
