Copper indium disulphide (CIS) nanocrystals (NCs) were prepared using a one-pot synthesis. The stoichiometry was optimized based on its current density as measured by photoelectrochemical (PEC) experiments at interfaces between NC films deposited on ITO and 0.1 M methyl viologen dichloride (MV2+) solution. This method also offers insight into the kinetics of the photoreaction. A copper poor sulphur rich starting ratio was found to produce a copper-rich, indium-poor and slightly sulphur rich material. Further NC characterization was performed with SEM and TEM to investigate the morphology and crystallinity of the 30–70 nm NCs. The oxidation states of the individual elements were determined to be I, III, and 2– for Cu, In and S, respectively. Characteristics of optimal as-prepared NCs were found to be compatible among high functioning absorbing layers.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
