· JVASP-57172· Cu2SiS3

Cu2SiS3 is a ternary copper silicide sulfide compound that belongs to the family of mixed-metal chalcogenides. This is a research-phase material rather than an established engineering material; it is primarily investigated for its semiconductor and photovoltaic properties, particularly in thin-film solar cell absorber layers and light-harvesting applications where the combination of copper, silicon, and sulfur offers potential band-gap engineering and cost advantages over conventional alternatives.
