Abstract:Chalcopyrite-type CuInSe2 (CIS) was synthesized from Cu, In and Se powders by a mechanochemical process (MCP) without any additional heating. When the transparent reactor bottle was strongly shaken, the elemental powders underwent an explosive reaction. The reaction generated a large amount of heat accompanied by simultaneous strong light emission. The product was confirmed to be chalcopyrite-type CIS by X-ray powder diffraction analysis. From the results, we categorized that preparation of CIS by MCP is a form of ‘self-propagating high-temperature synthesis’ (SHS) or ‘gasless combustion synthesis’. In ordinary SHS, a reaction is initiated from a sample surface by a heat flux such as a heated wire, electric spark, or laser beam. On the other hand, in the present reaction system (Cu+In+2Se), was naturally ignited only by mechanical stimulation. Following initiation by an external stimulus, the reaction was self continuing via the exothermic heat generated. The reaction mechanism of the preparation of CIS by the MCP is discussed on the basis of present reaction observations and thermochemical data.
