About Paper:

Chalcogenide perovskites have garnered significant attention as promising materials for semiconductor applications, primarily due to their favorable optoelectronic characteristics and stability. Among these materials, BaZrS3 has emerged as a highly prospective candidate for implementation as a top layer in multi-junction photovoltaic devices. Various synthetic approaches have been proposed to produce BaZrS3, encompassing solid processing, colloidal nanoparticles, and solution deposition using inks. However, the existing approaches have encountered significant hurdles, including the requirement for high temperatures and the utilization of expensive organometallic molecular precursors. Herein, we present the successful synthesis of BaZrS3 via solution processing, employing cost-effective molecular precursors, namely barium acetylacetonate and zirconium acetylacetonate, dissolved in an organic solvent. The synthesis was conducted at 575°C for one hour. The successful fabrication of BaZrS3 using this method underscores its potential as an economical approach for producing this semiconductor material.
