Abstract

Nanocrystalline CuIn2.0Se3.5 was successfully synthesized via a convenient hydrothermal route at relatively low temperature. By changing the selenium sources, the shape of the products can be effectively controlled. The as-prepared products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Raman spectrum. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis proved the product was ternary compound without secondary phase in it. The factors influencing the formation of the CuIn2.0Se3.5 were investigated.
