The phase transformation of CuInS2 from chalcopyrite to wurtzite

چکیده
In the present work, CuInS2 nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized by water-bath method with deionized water as solvent and thioglycolic acid as complexing agent at 80°C. The phase transition of CuInS2 from chalcopyrite to wurtzite was realized by adjusting the pH value of reaction solution. The emergence of Cu2S in the condition of higher pH value of reaction solution led to the formation of wurtzite CuInS2. This facile method that controls the phase structure by adjusting the solution pH value could open a new way to synthesize other I-III-VI2 ternary semiconductor compounds.

Synthesis of hexagonal structured wurtzite and chalcopyrite CuInS2 via a simple solution route
Wurtzite semiconductor CuInS2 [CIS] has been reported in recent years. As a kind of metastable structure, it is a great challenge to synthesize pure wurtzite CIS at low temperature. In this paper, via a simple and quick solution route, we synthesize both wurtzite- and chalcopyrite-structure CIS. Well-controlled wurtzite CIS hexagonal plates are obtained when an appropriate agent is added. The i...
متن کاملSynthesis and high-pressure transformation of metastable wurtzite-structured CuGaS2 nanocrystals.
The metastable wurtzite nanocrystals of CuGaS(2) have been synthesized through a facile and effective one-pot solvothermal approach. Through the Rietveld refinement on experimental X-ray diffraction patterns, we have unambiguously determined the structural parameters and the disordered nature of this wurtzite phase. The metastability of wurtzite structure with respect to the stable chalcopyrite...

Wurtzite CuInS2 nanoleaves were synthesized by Cu1.94S-assisted growth. By observing the evolution of structures and phases during the growth process, Cu1.94S nanocrystals were found to be formed after uninterrupted oxidation and sulfidation of copper nanoparticles at the early stage, serving as catalysts to introduce the Cu and In species into CuInS2 nanoleaves growth for inherent property of ...

Nanometer sized particles of the chalcopyrite compounds CuInS2 and CuInSe2 were synthesized by thermal decomposition of molecular single-source precursors (PPh3)2CuIn(SEt)4 and (PPh3)2CuIn(SePh)4, respectively, in the non-coordinating solvent dioctyl phthalate at temperatures between 200 and 300 "C. The nanoparticles range in size from 3 30 nm and are aggregated to form roughly spherical cluste...
متن کاملPrecursor driven one pot synthesis of wurtzite and chalcopyrite CuFeS2.
A facile precursor dependent single step, one pot solution based synthesis of wurtzite and chalcopyrite polymorphs of CuFeS2 has been developed by reacting a Cu(I) thiourea complex with Fe2(SO4)3 and FeCl3 separately in ethylene glycol. The phases have been characterized by structural refinements, SEM-EDX, TEM-SAED, Raman, UV-Visible spectroscopy and TGA measurements.
