A method for the preparation of CIGS-type core-shell nanoparticles produces core-shell nanoparticles that may include a quaternary or ternary metal chalcogenide core. The core may be substantially surrounded by a binary metal chalcogenide shell. A core-shell nanoparticle may be deposited on a PV cell contact (e.g., a molybdenum electrode) via solution-phase deposition. The deposited particles may then be melted or fused into a thin absorber film for use in a photovoltaic device. |
