Abstract

CuSbS2 nanopowder was synthesized using simple hydrothermal technique at relatively low temperature of 150 °C for duration of 8 h. The obtained nanoparticles were characterized by means of X-Ray Diffraction, Specific Surface Area analyzer (BET), Diffraction Ray Spectroscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy. The structural properties showed that the CuSbS2 nanoparticles exhibited a pure orthorhombic phase with high crystallinity and particle size in the average of 18 nm. The material exhibited a broad absorption in a wide wavelength range from UV to visible light corresponding to a direct band gap of 1.42 eV. The synthesized material seems to be promising candidates for photovoltaic and/or photocatalytic applications.
