Abstract:

The compound belongs to I-III-VI2 group are promising material as an effective light-absorbing materials. Now a day, ternary chalcopyrite semiconductors, especially copper based I-III-VI2 semiconductors have attracted many investigators. They have several desirable features as absorbers in the thin film solar cells. In present work, copper indium (di) selenide have been prepared via solvothermal route. Several methods have been reported to prepare CuInSe2 nanostructures by solution route. In present work, tetragonal chalcopyrite copper indium (di) selenide nanorods has been synthesized by solvothermal method using ethylene diamine as a solvent. Structural analysis had been done by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The surface morphology of the as-grown nanorod has been studied using scanning electron microscopy. The bandgap of as grown nanorods is obtained from UV-Vis spectrum which will applicable to the solar cell devices.
