Elaboration and characterization of nanostructured copper disulfide (CuS 2 ) thin films for energy conversion

Abstract

Nanostructured copper disulfide (CuS2) thin films have generated significant interest in energy conversion applications due to their unique properties. This study focuses on the fabrication and characterization of CuS 2 thin films using chemical bath deposition (CBD) and thermal evaporation techniques. XRD analysis confirmed the formation of CuS 2 by detecting the presence of Cu-S bonds. SEM imaging revealed an elongated cubic morphology in the films. Additional characterization techniques were employing to obtain a comprehensive overview of the properties relevant to this study. The findings provide valuable insights into the structure and morphology of CuS 2 thin films. This research contributes to the advancement of nanostructured materials for energy conversion and establishes a foundation for further investigations in this domain.
