Synthesis of CuSbS2 Nanoplates and CuSbS2–Cu3SbS4 Nanocomposite: Effect of Sulfur Source on Different Phase Formation

Abstract: Layered CuSbS2 and related ternary metal chalcogenides have attracted huge research interest due to their potential applications in sustainable energy storage, photovoltaics, and related area. Here, we report facile synthesis of CuSbS2 nanoplates and CuSbS2–Cu3SbS4 nanocomposite using hot injection method with varying sulfur precursors. Elemental sulfur (S8) as sulfur precursor results in nanoplates of pure CuSbS2, while thioacetamide (TA) as sulfur source gives nanocomposite with Cu3SbS4 nanoparticle decorate… Show more

“…2−13 Key characteristics supporting its potential as an alternative solar absorber include the following: (1) the scarcity and world demand for Sb is significantly lower than In, 1 (2) theoretical studies suggest that CuSbS 2 is free of deep trap recombination centers that plague Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 , another attractive, earth-abundant solar absorber material, 12 and (3) CuSbS 2 has a melting point of 551 °C, enabling lowtemperature crystallization, which is ideal for low-temperature, large-scale manufacturing. 12,13 The potential for CuSbS 2 as a solar absorber (as well as other semiconductor applications such as dye-sensitized solar cells, thermoelectrics, 14,15 supercapacitors, 2 and battery electrodes 16,17 ) has driven the development of many synthetic methods. Gas-phase (i.e., thermal evaporation, 11 low-temperature atomic layer deposition, 18 and co-sputtering 19 ) and solution-based (i.e., chemical bath deposition, 6,20 electrodeposition, 7 spray pyrolysis, 21 spin coating, 3 solvo/hydrothermal, 22,23 and hot injection 2,4,24 ) synthetic methods have been employed in the successful synthesis of CuSbS 2 thin films and nanomaterials.…”
