The ternary compound group of I-III-VI is important for solar cell because In2S3 acts as a buffer layer, while CuInS2 acts as an absorber layer in solar cell. CuInS2 thin films were synthesized by adding certain amounts of copper salt in the solution containing 0.06 M indium chloride and 0.36 M thiourea. In the absence of copper, the above solution forms In2S3. The copper salt added solution was ultrasonically sprayed on a glass substrate kept at 350 oC. For synthesis of n-type and p-type CuInS2, copper chloride with concentrations of 0.04 M and 0.06 M was added, respectively, in the solution containing indium chloride and thiourea. These films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Hall effect measurement, etc.</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords>In2S3, CuInS2, Ultrasonic spray pyrolysis, Phase transformation</Keywords> <URLs> <Abstract>https://ijesm.co.in/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=4065&title=Phase Transformation from In2S3 to CuInS2 using Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References/> </References> </Journal> </Article> </ArticleSet>
