Abstract

A new double salt of phosphoric acid, KCuPO4· 6H2O, has been hydrothermally synthesized. Its structure was determined and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures using automatic diffractometer data to a residual R=0.0628(RW=0.2131). The space group is P2/c with a=6.1303(3)Å b=12.1781(6)Å, c=8.9962(2)Å, β=105.018(4)°, V=648.68(6)Å3, and Z=2. The measurement of surface photovoltage as function of wavelength indicates that this new compound can yield obvious photovoltaic response in 550-800 nm visible region and exhibit better photoelectric conversion efficiency.
