SOLUTION BASED SYNTHESIS OF COPPER-ARSENIC-CHALCOGEN NANOPARTICLES

摘要

Disclosed herein are synthesis methods and uses of nanoparticles containing copper, arsenic, and chalcogen, in particular their use for making thin films useful for electronics, photovoltaics, and solar energy conversion devices.

主权项

1. A method for obtaining copper, arsenic, and chalcogen containing nanoparticles, comprising:
providing a first group of precursors, the first group of precursors comprising copper and arsenic; providing a second group of precursors, the second group of precursors comprising sulfur, selenium, tellurium, or a mixture thereof; and reacting both the first group of precursors and the second group of precursors in at least one solvent at conditions forming copper arsenic chalcogen nanoparticles.
