Abstract

Combining electrodeposition and sonochemistry technique, the formation of CuInSe 2 (CIS) nanoparticles from aqueous solution containing citrate as complexing agent is reported. The surface morphology and the composition of the deposited nanocristallites are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The texture of the deposits and their compositions are analyzed by X-ray diffraction. A line scan analysis technique is used to confirm the results obtained with other techniques. The formation of CuInSe 2 nanocristallites with a chalcopyrite structure is observed. The nanocristallites size diameter ranging between 6 and 30 nanometers is reported.
