Title: Metal–metal chalcogenide molecular precursors to binary, ternary, and quaternary metal chalcogenide thin films for electronic devices

Abstract

We found that bulk metals and metal chalcogenides dissolve in primary amine–dithiol solvent mixtures at ambient conditions. Thin-films of CuS, SnS, ZnS, Cu₂Sn(Sx,Se_1-x)₃, and Cu₂ZnSn(SxSe_1-x)₄ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) were deposited using the as-dissolved solutions. Furthermore, Cu₂ZnSn(SxSe_1-x)₄ solar cells with efficiencies of 6.84% and 7.02% under AM1.5 illumination were fabricated from two example solution precursors, respectively.

Mechanochemical Synthesis of Sustainable Ternary and Quaternary Nanostructured Cu2SnS3, Cu2ZnSnS4, and Cu2ZnSnSe4 Chalcogenides for Thermoelectric Applications

Journal Article Nautiyal, Himanshu ; Lohani, Ketan ; Mukherjee, Binayak ; ... - Nanomaterials

Copper-based chalcogenides have emerged as promising thermoelectric materials due to their high thermoelectric performance, tunable transport properties, earth abundance and low toxicity. We have presented an overview of experimental results and first-principal calculations investigating the thermoelectric properties of various polymorphs of Cu₂SnS₃ (CTS), Cu₂ZnSnS₄ (CZTS), and Cu₂ZnSnSe₄ (CZTSe) synthesized by high-energy reactive mechanical alloying (ball milling). Of particular interest are the disordered polymorphs of these materials, which exhibit phonon-glass–electron-crystal behavior—a decoupling of electron and phonon transport properties. Further, the interplay of cationic disorder and nanostructuring leads to ultra-low thermal conductivities while enhancing electronic transport. These beneficial transport properties are themore »« less

First-Principles Calculations of Thermoelectric Transport Properties of Quaternary and Ternary Bulk Chalcogenide Crystals

Journal Article Hasan, Sahib ; San, Saro ; Baral, Khagendra ; ... - Materials

Chalcogenide crystals have a wide range of applications, especially as thermoelectric materials for energy conversion. Thermoelectric materials can be used to generate an electric current from a temperature gradient based on the Seebeck effect and based on the Peltier effect, and they can be used in cooling applications. Using first-principles calculations and semiclassical Boltzmann theory, we have computed the Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, electronic thermal conductivity, power factor, and figure of merit of 30 chalcogenide crystals. A Quantum Espresso package is used to calculate the electronic properties and locate the Fermi level. The transport properties are then calculated using themore »« less

Growth and Photovoltaic Device Application of Cu₂BaGe_1–xSn_xSe₄ Films Prepared by Selenization of Sequentially Deposited Precursors

Journal Article Kim, Yongshin ; Mitzi, David B. - ACS Applied Energy Materials

Toward suppressing the formation of anti-site defects and related defect clusters in kesterite Cu₂ZnSnS_4-xSe_x (CZTS) absorber films, Cu₂-II-IV-X₄ (II = Sr, Ba; IV = Ge, Sn; X = S, Se) compounds have recently been introduced. Cu₂BaGe_1-xSn_xSe₄ (CBGTSe) is one of the materials that belongs to this chalcogenide family, with a tunable band gap (1.6 eV ≤ E_g ≤ 1.9 eV, based on x value) having been demonstrated for bulk samples. In this report, we demonstrate the deposition of CBGTSe films and report the first solar cells based on CBGTSe as a light absorber. CBGTSe films have been fabricated from selenizationmore »« less

Ternary molybdenum chalcogenide catalysts for hydrodesulfurization

Miscellaneous Kareem, S A

Ternary molybdenum chalcogenides with Chevrel Phase Compound (CPC) structure were synthesized, characterized, and tested as catalysts for hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of thiophene. The general formula of CPC is M{sub 2}Mo{sub 3n}X{sub 3n+2}, where M stands for one of about forty different metallic elements, with a stoichiometric number z between 1 and 4, depending on the formal oxidation state of M; X denotes S, Se, or Te; and n, and number not less than 2. CPC were synthesized by a fusion reaction in an evacuated ampoule, and then characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) methods. Mixed oxides of Momore »« less
Insights into Nucleation and Growth of Colloidal Quaternary Nanocrystals by Multimodal X-ray Analysis

Journal Article Just, Justus ; Coughlan, Claudia ; Singh, Shalini ; ... - ACS Nano

Copper chalcogenide nanocrystals find applications in photovoltaic inks, bio labels, and thermoelectric materials. We reveal insights in the nucleation and growth during synthesis of anisotropic Cu₂ZnSnS₄ nanocrystals by simultaneously performing in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Real-time XAFS reveals that upon thiol injection into the reaction flask, a key copper thiolate intermediate species is formed within fractions of seconds, which decomposes further within a narrow temperature and time window to form copper sulfide nanocrystals. These nanocrystals convert into Cu₂ZnSnS₄ nanorods by sequentially incorporating Sn and Zn. Real-time SAXS and ex situ TEM of aliquots corroboratemore »« less
