Crystallite formation mechanism of CuIn(Se,S)2 synthesized using solvothermal method

Photosensitivity of CuBiSe2 Thin Film Deposited by Vacuum Evaporation Technique

“…Quantitative analysis of the data indicates its stoichiometry as Cu = 28.09, Bi = 29.05, and Se = 42.85. The observed value agrees well with the theoretically expected stoichiometric composition of CBSe (Cu = 25%, Bi = 25% and Se = 50%) . The EDX pattern of the CBSe film shows its stoichiometric nature, which is in contrast with an earlier report that showed a nonstoichiometric composition .…”

“…The ternary chalcogenide functional materials are suitable as solid lubricants because of their outstanding thermal and mechanical properties . The copper bismuth chalcopyrite systems show rectification characteristics at the metal point contact and usually crystallize in the chalcopyrite structure with peculiar nonlinear properties …”

Hierarchical self-assembly in an RNA-based coordination polymer hydrogel

“…4 †). 15,16 AFM analysis of freshly prepared samples reveals a onedimensional structure for 1. Large-area scans show that the coordination polymer strands extend several microns in length and are homogenous in height (Fig.…”

Synthesis of CIS (CuInSe2) Based Materials for Solar Applications

“…CIS nanostructures and thin films were in the past produced using magnetron sputtering [2], co-evaporation [3], laser deposition [4], electron beam deposition [5], and also non-vacuum based methods. It is known that processes based on vacuum technology have some disadvantages such as high energy consumption, high processing temperature, necessity of ultrapure materials, and limitation in total area of films [6]. Other types of methods of synthesis involve methods such as electrodeposition [7], chemical deposition [8,9], hydrothermal process [10], and solvothermal process [11,12].…”

“…The solvothermal process conditions for synthesizing CIS nanopowders influence its structure and surface properties [13]. Processes with multiple steps were experimented using different types of solvents such as ethylenediamine [6,[14][15][16], triethanolamine [10,16], oleylamine [17][18][19][20], oleic acid [13], polyetheramine [21], citric acid, butylcarbitol, hydrazine [22], ammonium bromide [23], and hexadecylamine [24].…”
