Abstract
Cubic phase of silver antimony sulfide (AgSbS2) nanostructures were successfully synthesized from silver nitrate (AgNO3), antimony acetate (CH3CO2)3Sb, and sodiumthiosulphate pentahydrate (Na2S2O3.5H2O) in propylene glycol (PG) without using any surfactants or splitting agents by a facile wet chemical route at 160 OC for 30 min. The XRD, SEM and TEM reveal AgSbS2 nanostructures forming the clusters. Due to the UV-visible absorption shows its direct band gap, is 1.80 eV, AgSbS2 is found to be the excellent material for the solar energy converters. And the possible formation of AgSbS2 nanostructured cluster was also discussed.
