ChemInform Abstract: Low‐Temperature Synthesis of Cu2CoSnS4 Nanoparticles by Thermal Decomposition of Metal Precursors and the Study of Its Structural, Optical and Electrical Properties for Photovoltaic Applications.

Abstract

AbstractCu2CoSnS4 (CCTS) nanoparticles are prepared from a 1.85:1:1:12 molar mixture of Cu(OAc)2, CoCl2, SnCl2, and CS(NH)2 in EtOH which is ball milled prior to thermal decomposition (alumina crucible, 250‐450 °C, 1‐6 h).
