Solventless thermolysis of molecular precursors followed by liquid phase exfoliation allows access to two-dimensional IV-VI semiconductor nanomaterials hitherto unreachable a scalable processing pathway. Firstly, the use metal dithiocarbamate produce bulk alloys in series Pb1-x Sn x S (0 ≤ 1) is demonstrated. The powders are characterised powder X-ray diffraction (pXRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive (EDX) spectroscopy. It was found that there...
Cadmium sulfide (CdS) is an important semiconductor for electronic and photovoltaic applications, particularly when utilized as a thin film window layers in CdTe solar cells. Deposition of thin-film CdS through the decomposition single-source precursors attractive approach due to facile, low-temperature, rapid nature this approach. Tailoring precursor affect properties commonly employed tune desirable temperatures decomposition. However, altering structure effect has on deposited material...
