- Abstract
Uniform crystalline CuInS2 nanoflowers with an average size of 25 nm were synthesized by a hot-injection strategy using CuAc, In(Ac)3 and sulfur powder as precursors and oleylamine as both the solvent and ligand. Various methods including X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and absorption spectroscopy were used to characterize CuInS2 nanoflowers. Control experiments indicated that CuInS2 nanoflowers were formed through 3D attachment of forming primary nanodots. The obtained CuInS2 nanoflowers are promising for low-cost, high efficiency solar cells due to several advantages such as the simplicity of synthesis, size and morphology uniformity, stability of dispersion and large surface area for charge separation.
