Simple synthesis of flower-like ln2S3 structures and their use as templates to prepare CuS particles

Abstract

Flower-like structure In2S3P particles are prepared by a simple and rapid method. The reaction proceeds in a polyalcohol system without using any complex precursors. The phase and morphology of the In 2S3 are investigated. Furthermore, flower-like structure CuS particles are synthesized via the reaction of Cu2+ ions with the obtained In2S3 as templates. Both the In2S 3 and CuS particles can be used in preparing compound solar cell material CuInS2. Copyright © 2011 Xia Sheng et al.
