Cu1.8S1
semiconductor· Cu1.8S1
Cu1.8S1 is a copper sulfide semiconductor compound with a copper-rich stoichiometry, belonging to the family of metal chalcogenide semiconductors. This material is primarily of research interest for photovoltaic applications, particularly as an absorber or buffer layer in thin-film solar cells, where its adjustable bandgap and relatively high absorption coefficient make it attractive compared to conventional CdS alternatives. Cu1.8S1 is also investigated for thermoelectric and optoelectronic device applications, though commercial deployment remains limited and the material is considered a development-stage compound rather than an established industrial standard.
