A Large-Scale Synthesis and Characterization of Quaternary CuInxGa1−xS2 Chalcopyrite Nanoparticles via Microwave Batch Reactions

Various quaternary CuInxGa1−xS2 (0≤x≤1) chalcopyrite nanoparticles have been prepared from molecular single-source precursors via microwave decomposition. We were able to control the nanoparticle size, phase, stoichiometry, and solubility. Depending on the choice of surface modifiers used, we were a...
