Novel Spinel-Type Selenide Semiconductor ZnSc2Se4 and Solid Solution with Sulfide for Photovoltaics

KHKota HanzawaRNRyoga NagasawaHHHidenori Hiramatsu

Key Points

  • To investigate the properties of ZnSc2Se4 selenide and its solid solution with sulfide for photovoltaic applications.
  • Synthesis of ZnSc2Se4 and solid solution materials.
  • Characterization of optoelectronic properties, including doping capabilities.
  • Assessment of visible-light emission characteristics.
  • ZnSc2Se4 shows enhanced optoelectronic properties compared to sulfide counterparts.
  • Both n- and p-type dopability observed in ZnSc2Se4.
  • Strong visible-light emission identified, indicating potential for solar energy conversion.

Abstract

It has recently been reported that spinel-type sulfide (Zn,Mg)Sc2S4 possesses superior optoelec-tronic properties, including both n- and p-type dopability and strong visible-light emission. Herein, we present a novel isomorphic selenide,...
