Flux Growth of CuInS2 from Cu x In1 − x Melts

Abstract
Flux growth of from melts with initial compositions , where , is reported. By varying x it is possible to have some degree of control over stoichiometry during growth. There is some experimental evidence that is in equilibrium with Cu. The in contact with Cu was intrinsic in nature. Photoelectrochemical properties of the resulting crystals show a consistent open‐circuit voltage between 0.68 and 0.75V, but the short‐circuit current varied considerably. Liquid junction solar cells, using an redox couple, showed power conversion efficiencies as high as 5.4%.
