CuIn3S5
semiconductor· CuIn3S5
CuIn3S5 is a ternary chalcogenide semiconductor compound combining copper, indium, and sulfur in a layered crystal structure. This material is primarily investigated in photovoltaic and optoelectronic research contexts as an alternative absorber layer for thin-film solar cells and photodetectors, with potential advantages in tunable bandgap and lower toxicity compared to some competing compounds like CdTe or lead halide perovskites.
