Copper chalcogenides

This study reports, for the first time, the fabrication of electrospun Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 (CZTS) nanofibers using metal acetate precursors. Viscous poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) solution containing acetate or chloride salts of copper, zinc, and tin was electrospun onto a conductive substrate. The PVP nanofibers that have a mixture of metal salts were annealed at elevated temperatures. After calcination, these nanofibers were treated with the sulfur source and then annealed again in order to generate CZTS nanofibers.

Electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) using non- precious comp ounds has gained substantia l interest in the development of water electrolyzers. Herein, we report the synthesis of Copper sulfide (Cu2S) micro-hexagons via a hydrothermal method, followed by some of the important physiochemical characterizations and electrochemical measurements towards the HER.
