Influence of aluminum doping in CuInS2 prepared by spray pyrolysis on different substrates

A mild biomolecule-assisted route for preparation of flower-like AgBiS2 crystals

“…In recent years, I-V-VI ternary chalcogenide semiconducting compounds have driven extensive research interest because of their potential and practical applications in linear, nonlinear, optoelectronic, and thermoelectric devices, as well as optical recording media [1][2][3][4][5]. AgBiS 2 , one of the important I-V-VI ternary semiconductors, has promising applications as a novel mineral semiconductor due to its unusual electronic and magnetic properties [6][7][8].…”

Chemical synthesis of Cu(In) metal inks to prepare CuInS2 thin films and solar cells

“…), or simultaneous co-evaporation of these elements [2,3]. To reduce the cost of the thin-film solar cells non-vacuum techniques are intensively studied [4][5][6]. Among a variety of non-vacuum techniques, nanoparticle-based ink printing is attractive, given the convenience for large-scale production and sufficient utilization of materials [7][8][9].…”

Solvent volume-driven CuInAlS2 nanoflake counter electrode for effective electrocatalytic tri-iodide reduction in dye-sensitized solar cells

“…Chalcopyrite semiconductor I-III-VI 2 has attracted more attention towards the solar cell technologies. The non-toxic CuInS 2 semiconductor material, used as an absorber layer in heterojunction solar cells has a high absorption coefficient (> 10 4 cm -1 ) with the optical band gap value varying from 1.39-1.55 eV which depends upon the deposition techniques and growth conditions [14]. Few reports are available on CuInS 2 and CuInGaS 2 as the CE in DSSCs to the best of our knowledge [15][16][17].…”
