Synthesized and characterizations nanoparticles of chalcopyrite alloy CuIn1-xFexSe2

Morphological evolution of individual microrods to self-assembled 3D hierarchical flower architectures of CuBixIn1−xSe2 for photo response applications

“…In this regard, CuIn x Ga 1Àx Se 2 (CIGS), CuIn 1Àx Fe x Se 2 (CIFS), and CuIn 1Àx Al x Se 2 (CIAS) are wellknown alternative semiconductors containing Ga, Fe, and Al, respectively, in place of In to enhance PV efficiency and different property tuning. [5][6][7] Various studies related to composition variation have been conducted. For example, a gradient structure was designed to enhance the performance of a device featuring a heavy metal-based heterostructure composed of CuInSe 2 /(CuInSe x S 1Àx ) 5 / CuInS 2 core/shell quantum dots (QDs).…”

Single-step synthesis of ternary metal chalcogenides (sf-CuInS2 and sf-CuInSe2) stripped off the organic cover and their use as a catalyst for symmetric Glaser–Hay coupling reactions

“…Among the I-III-VI group-based materials, CuInS 2 possesses good photoconductivity, large absorption coefficients, and bandgap value matching with the visible solar spectrum. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] The bandgap of this material can be adjusted by altering the particle size, which provides the probability of matching a particular part of the solar spectrum. [10][11][12][13] The tunability gives the material a choice to be very useful in solar cells, photocatalytic splitting of water, [14][15][16] light-emitting diodes, [17][18][19][20] bio-imaging, [21][22][23][24] and nonlinear optical devices.…”

Syntheses and Characterizations of CuIn1-xZnxSe2 Chalcopyrite Nanoparticles

“…In order to synthesize these chalcopyrite compounds, there are several techniques, either vacuum-free techniques such as spray pyrolysis [4], spin coating [5], dip coating [6] and solvothermal synthesis [7,8], or vacuum techniques such as co-evaporation [9]. The latter technique requires stringent conditions for high-vacuum synthesis, which results in higher production costs and higher energy consumption.…”
