Synthesis of Nanocrystalline CuMS₂ (M = In or Ga) through a Solvothermal Process

Abstract

Nanocrystalline CuMS2 (M = In or Ga) were synthesized at 200 °C under solvothermal conditions by using CuCl, In or Ga, and S as reactants.

Synthesis and Characterization of Ternary CuInS2 Nanorods via a Hydrothermal Route

“…This chemical method allows the particle size and their distribution as well as their morphology to be controlled (15). In our group, Lu et al synthesized irregular CuInS nanoparticles at 2003C through a solvothermal process using CuCl, In, and S as reagents; however, they could not control the products to grow nanorods (16). Jiang et al prepared CuInS nanorods at 2803C for 48 h through elemental solvothermal reaction (17).…”

Ultra-Lightweight Hybrid Thin-Film Solar Cells: A Survey of Enabling Technologies for Space Power Applications

“…Qian and coworkers have reported a series of solvothermal routes to nanorods of CuInS 2 and CuInSe 2 . 52,53 In practice however, synthesis of a desired size nanoparticle is not always simple. This is especially true for the higher-order ternary and tertiary materials.…”

Green Synthesis of Nanocrystalline Cu2ZnSnS4 Powder Using Hydrothermal Route

“…Hydrothermal reactions have been widely used to synthesize nanocrystalline materials such as TiO 2 , ZnO, CdS, ZnS, and ZnSe [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Ternary semiconductor quantum dots CuInS 2 , CuInSe 2 have also been prepared by this method [19,20]. Madarász et al [21] prepared CZTS using thermal decomposition of thiourea complexes of Cu (I), Zn (II), and Sn (II) chlorides.…”
