CuZnSnSe Nanotubes and Nanowires by Template Electrosynthesis

Abstract:

In this work we present some results of an extensive investigation aimed to find suitable conditions to grow CuZnSnSe (CZTSe) nanostructures through single-step electrodeposition into the channels of polycarbonate membranes. After the optimization of several electrodeposition parameters, we have found that pulsed current deposition, between 0 and -1 mA cm^-2, is the best way to obtain CZTSe nanostructures mechanically attached to the support. An interesting result concerns the effect of supporting electrolyte in the deposition bath. In fact, changing its concentration it is possible to vary morphology of nanostructures from nanotubes to nanowires. In both case uniform arrays of ordered nanostructures were obtained on a Ni current collector that are very stable also after thermal treatment at 550°C.
