IMRC 2021 Meeting - Cancun Mexico - Virtual Poster Mode

The International Material Research Congress (2021-IMRC) is coming next August 15-20th. In this event, I'll be attending the Symposium C7 - Photovoltaics, Solar Energy Materials, and Technologies to present my research about the development of silver antimony sulfide selenide AgSbS2, AgSbSe2, AgSb(S,Se)2 for solar cells [zotpressInText item="{6612042:JUKWBKTL},{6612042:YYSGZIWM}"]. I have a story with the IMRC-Congress. When I was doing my Ph.D. project, My Advisor preferred to attendant the MRS-Fall and MRS-Spring meeting in the USA because IMRC at the Caribbean of Mexico seems like a vacation! I don't know your experience, but In mine, a research meeting let me travel abroad…

Chemical solutions for CuS deposition

During my postdoctoral stay at the Physics Institute of BUAP one of my duties is the deposition of thin-film semiconductors. At this laboratory IFUAP-205, I have been doing chemistry activities like the preparation of precursors solutions. In Fig.1, I want to show you three vials with solutions of different molar concentrations used for copper sulfide thin-film deposition: Copper chloride (CuCl2), Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and Thiourea (NH2CSNH2). These solutions were dissolved in deionized water and stirred using a magnetic plate. What I have learned here is that solutions should be prepared one day before or in the moment of the chemical…
