“…Finally, the In2S3-coated Cu nanoparticles were transformed into CuInS 2 nanoparticles by heating them at 300 o C for 2 h. Thus, our synthesis process for CuInS2 nanoparticles preparation was found relatively very mild and simple in comparison to other methods to prepare CuInS2 nanoparticles such as solvent thermolysis, 2,4,34-40 hydrothermal route, 5,7,41 and microwave irradiation. 42 …”

CuInS2 nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple sonochemical method; First, Cu nanoparticles were prepared from CuCl2 in methanol solution by a one pot reaction through the sonochemistry under multibubble sonoluminescence (MBSL) conditions. Second, the resulting Cu nanoparticles were treated with InCl3․4H2O and CH3CSNH2 (thioacetamide) at the same MBSL conditions to synthesize In2S3-coated Cu nanoparticles in methanol solution. Then, they were transformed into CuInS2 (CIS) nanoparticles of 20 ~ 40 nm size in diameter by thermal heating at 300 o C for 2 hr. The prepared CIS nanoparticles, of which band gap is 1.44 eV, were investigated by X-ray diffractometer, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, inductively coupled plasma spectrometer, and high resolution-transmission electron microscope.

“…For preparing CuInS 2 films, the common methods consist of evaporation [2], sputtering [3], electrodeposition [4,5], chemical bath deposition [6], spray deposition [7], solvothermal [8,9] and molecular beam epitaxy [10], etc. Electrodeposition with low cost is easy to achieve large area deposition, so domestic and foreign researchers have used electrodeposition to prepare CuInS 2 films [11].…”

as a ternary compound, CuinS 2 with band gap about 1.5 eV, has chalcopyrite crystal structure, high absorption coefficient and low toxicity of sulfur, therefore, CuinS 2 is a promising absorbing layer used in solar cells with thin films. Electroplating method has many advantages of low cost and easy operation etc. CuinS 2 precursor samples were prepared by electroplating with raw materials of CuCl 2 ·2h 2 o, inCl3 and na 2 S 2 o 3 ·5h 2 O etc., and the precursor films were heat treated in sulfur atmosphere. The phases of product samples were determined by x-ray diffraction (xrD) and the surface morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SeM), and the elemental content of the film was analyzed by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Results show that uniform and dense CuInS2 precursor films can be obtained under conditions of CuCl 2 ·2h 2 o, inCl 3 , na 2 S 2 o 3 ·5h 2 o and C 6 h 5 na 3 o 7 ·2h 2 o with contents of 10 mmol/L, 10 mmol/L, 100 mmol/L and 1.25 mmol/L respectively, ph 3.5 and deposition potential -1.0 V. CuinS 2 film with good crystallinity was obtained by sulfurizing precursor film at 350 ºC for 6h, has different xrD peaks for (112), (024/220) and (116/132) crystal planes respectively. Many lumps with uniform size are found, and there are little holes distributing on the surface after heat treatment. The precursor and sulfurized films were all found containing copper, indium and sulfur elements. it is found that the sulfur content in the films was obviously increased after sulfurizing.

“…CdInS 2 nanorods (20-25 nm Â 400-450 nm) were prepared by reacting CdS nanorods with InCl 3 and thiourea [23]. Other hydrothermally prepared ternary sulfide nanocrystallites include MInS 2 (M ¼ Cu [24], Ag [25]), CuGaS 2 [26], AgGaS 2 (6-12 nm), a-Ag 9 GaS 6 [27], Ag 3 CuS 2 [28], PbSnS 3 [29], and CuFeS 2 [30].…”
