Thin Film CuInS2 Prepared by Spray Pyrolysis with Single-Source Precursors

Both horizontal hot-wall and vertical cold-wall atmospheric chemical spray pyrolysis processes deposited near single-phase stoichiometric CuInS2 thin films. Single-source precursors developed for ternary chalcopyrite materials were used for this study, and a new liquid phase single-source precursor was tested with a vertical cold-wall reactor. The depositions were carried out under an argon atmosphere, and the substrate temperature was kept at 400 C. Columnar grain structure was obtained with vapor deposition, and the granular structure was obtained with (liquid) droplet deposition. Conductive films were deposited with planar electrical resistivities ranging from 1 to 30 Omega x cm.

Excited State Covalency, Dynamics, and Photochemistry of Square Planar Ni-Thiolate Complexes Revealed by Ultrafast X-ray Absorption

Highly covalent Ni bis(dithiolene) and related complexes provide an ideal platform for investigating the effects of metal–ligand orbital hybridization on excited state character and dynamics. In particular, we focus on the ligand field excited states that dominate the photophysics of first-row transition metal complexes. Here, we investigate if they can be significantly delocalized off the metal center, possibly yielding photochemical reactivity more similar to charge transfer excited states than metal-centered ligand field excited states. Here [Ni(mpo) 2 ] (mpo = 2-mercaptopyridine- N-oxide) provides a representative example for the larger chemical class and is an active electro- and photo-catalyst for proton reduction. A detailed characterization of the excited state electronic structure, dynamics, and photochemistry of [Ni(mpo) 2 ] is presented based on ultrafast transient X- ray absorption spectroscopy at the Ni and S 1s core absorption K-edges. By comparing the ultrafast Ni K-edge absorption to ab initio calculations, we identify an excited state relaxation mechanism where an initial ligand-to-metal charge transfer excitation results in both excited state electron transfer (generating a catalytically relevant reduced photoproduct [Ni(mpo) 2 ] − ) and relaxation to a pseudo-tetrahedral triplet ligand field excited state. From the ultrafast S K-edge absorption, the ligand field excited state is found to be highly delocalized onto the thiolate ligands and a tetrahedral structural distortion is shown to substantially influence the degree of delocalization. The results identify a significant structural coordinate to target when aiming to control the excited state covalency in square planar complexes.
