Polycrystalline Cu2FeSnS4 materials (abbreviated CFTS) were synthesized by a hydrothermal route implementing a one-step thermal treatment to measure dependence on different reaction times in the stabilization and structural, vibrational, and optoelectronic properties. The structural results have shown a tetragonal system with I-42m spatial group. The vibrational analysis by Raman spectroscopy allowed the identification of additional crystal phases arising from the synthesis procedure and corroborated the presence of a stannite phase. This evaluation showed that the reaction time gave the proposed synthesis procedure, significantly affects the semiconductor behavior of the solids; consequently, the conductivity measurements evidence a decrease from 1.02x106 to 9.84x105 W at 573 K as the synthesis time increases. These results described above, corroborated that the control of the reaction time provide a tool to successful fine-tune of the structural and conductivity properties of CFTS materials.
Los materiales de Cu2FeSnS4 (abreviado CFTS) se sintetizaron mediante una ruta hidrotermal implementando un tratamiento térmico de un solo paso para medir la dependencia de diferentes tiempos de reacción en la estabilización y las propiedades estructurales, vibratorias y optoelectrónicas. Los resultados estructurales han mostrado un sistema tetragonal con grupo espacial I-42m. El análisis vibracional por espectroscopía Raman permitió la identificación de fases cristalinas surgidas del procedimiento de síntesis y corroboró la presencia de una fase estanita. Esta evaluación mostró que el tiempo de reacción dado por el procedimiento de síntesis, afecta significativamente el comportamiento semiconductor de los sólidos; en consecuencia, las medidas de conductividad evidencian una disminución de 1,02x106 a 9,84x105 W a 573 K a medida que aumenta el tiempo de síntesis. Estos resultados corroboran que el control del tiempo de reacción proporciona una herramienta para el ajuste de las propiedades estructurales y de conductividad de los materiales CFTS.
