Tin doped In2S3 films were grown by the chemical spray pyrolysis (CSP) method using the pneumatic spray set-up and compressed air as a carrier gas. The spraying solution contained indium chloride (InCl3), thiourea [CS(NH2)2] and (SnCl4) at a molar ratio of S/In = 2.5. The deposition was carried out at 350 °C on glass substrates. The Sn doping level was changed with Sn/In = 0-8 % in solution. Th...

We investigated photoelectrochemical water splitting properties of Pt-In2S3/CuInS2 photocathodes from near neutral toward basic condition (pH 6, 9, and 13). Half-cell solar-to-hydrogen (HC-STH) of Pt-In2S3/CuInS2 measured under 0.2 M NaH2PO4 was the highest when the pH of the solution was 13 (4.7% at 0.42 V vs. RHE) with a maximum photocurrent density of 16.3 mA cm-2 (at 0 V vs. RHE) and onset ...

This paper describes the atomic layer deposition of In2(S,O)3 films by using In(acac)3 (acac = acetylacetonate), H2S and either H2O or O2 plasma as oxygen sources. First, the growth of pure In2S3 films was studied in order to better understand the influence of the oxygen pulses. X-Ray diffraction measurements, optical analysis and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were performed to character...

Crystallinity, optical band gap, resistivity and photoresponse of thermally evaporated In2S3 thin films deposited at a temperature 350 °C further annealed in sulfur vapour different range 200–300 is investigated. It observed that with an increase annealing temperature, predominantly β-In2S3 phase formed the gap for indirect allowed transitions increases from 1.6 eV to 2.0 direct 2.3 2.7 eV. The...

Metal–support interaction strongly influences the catalytic properties of metal-based catalysts. Here, titanium nitride (TiN) nanospheres are shown to be an outstanding support, for tuning electronic property platinum (Pt) nanoparticles and adjusting morphology indium sulfide (In2S3) active components, forming flower-like core–shell nanostructures (TiN-Pt@In2S3). The strong metal–support betwee...

Antimony selenide (Sb2Se3) is a narrow-band-gap semiconductor that has been increasingly used as an excellent light-harvesting material in photoelectrocatalysis. The unique connections of the one-dimensional (Sb4Se6)n ribbon structural units determine high anisotropy their carrier transport.
