Abstract

The microwave-assisted polyol method has been applied to the preparation of nanosized Cu₂SnSe₄. Cheap materials such as CuCl (of CuCl₂·2H₂O), Sn and Se were used as starting materials. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is the only solvent in which the reaction takes place and the materials did not react in ethylene glycol, tri-, or tetraethylene glycol. Mössbauer spectroscopic measurements revealed a single doublet whose isomer shift of 1.81 mm/s is typical of that seen in tetravalent covalent tin semiconductors. The final product was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution TEM (HR-TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy.
