摘要
Chalcopyrite copper indium sulfide (CuInS2) nanocrystals (NCs) were synthesized by a one-pot route and characterized by XRD, TEM, HRTEM, EDS, UV-vis and SPS. The experimental results demonstrated that the CuInS2 NCs synthesized by metal compound [Sn(acac)(2)Cl-2] had good crystallinity, monodispersity and stoichiometric composition. The UV-vis absorption spectra showed the as-synthesized CuInS2 NCs had fine absorption in the visible light region and the energy band gap was estimated to be 1.58 eV. Moreover, the metal compound could improve the photoinduced charge separation and transfer effect of NCs based on the SPS study. The synthesis strategy developed in this work may be used as a general process for the synthesis of pure or doped chalcogenide NCs, and may have great potential to be applied in high efficiency, yet low cost photovoltaic areas.
