Ca1 Sn1 S3
semiconductor· Ca1 Sn1 S3
CaSnS₃ is a ternary chalcogenide semiconductor compound combining calcium, tin, and sulfur in a layered crystal structure. This material is primarily of research interest as a potential photovoltaic absorber and optoelectronic device material, belonging to the broader family of earth-abundant semiconductors being explored as alternatives to lead-based perovskites and conventional III-V semiconductors. Its appeal lies in the use of non-toxic, relatively abundant elements, though it remains largely in experimental development stages with ongoing investigation into synthesis methods, phase stability, and device integration.
