Direct synthesis of nanostructured silver antimony sulfide powders from metal xanthate precursors

Abstract Silver(I) ethylxanthate [AgS2COEt] (1) and antimony(III) ethylxanthate [Sb(S2COEt)3] (2) have been synthesised, characterised and used as precursors for the preparation of AgSbS2 powders and thin films using a solvent-free melt method and spin coating technique, respectively. The as-synthes...
