Abstract:
According to the principles of simultaneous equilibria and mass equilibria, CuInSe
2 (CIS) were prepared by total aqueous process at normal pressure and room temperature. A series of thermodynamic equilibrium equations were deduced for the complex system of Cu
+-In
3+-Se
2--NH
3-L
2--Cl
--H
2O (
T=298 K), and the equilibrium curves of lg
c-pH were drawn. It was found from these equilibrium diagrams thatNH
3T primarily affected theCu
+T concentration,L
2-T influenced theIn
3+T concentration, andCl
-T had impact on both. The highest precipitation coefficient was obtained at pH 7.0-8.5. As a result, based on the principles of simultaneous equilibria and mass equilibria of the Cu
+-In
3+-Se
2--NH
3-L
2--Cl
--H
2O system (
T=298 K) and used total aqueous process at normal pressure and room temperature, CIS nanoparticles can be synthesized by adjusting the pH value to 7.0-8.5, and their size is about 20 to 50 nm.
