Abstract
A method of forming CuFeSchalcopyrite nanoparticles. The method includes, in the presence of one or more ligands, reacting an iron-containing compound, a copper-containing compound and a sulfur-containing compound to form CuFeSchalcopyrite nanoparticles; and wherein at least one of the ligands forms a coordination complex with copper, and at least one of the ligands forms a coordination complex with iron. Also a method of forming metal-doped CuFeSchalcopyrite nanoparticles such as Zn-doped CuFeSchalcopyrite nanoparticles. Also, a CuFeSchalcopyrite nanoparticle layer on a substrate. Also, a composition of matter including Zn-doped CuFeSchalcopyrite nanoparticles. Also, a Zn-doped CuFeSchalcopyrite nanoparticle layer on a substrate.
