Cubic beta-In(2)S(3) nanoparticles (NPs) have been synthesized by a simple and facile way, which is 6 nm in size. Absorption and emission spectra of In(2)S(3) NPs show obvious blue peak shift compared to band gap of bulk In(2)S(3), indicating the strong quantum size confinement effect. The fluorescence quantum yield of In(2)S(3) NPs is found to be 10%. During the synthesis process, the absorption spectra have no peak shift, which is responding to transition from valence band to the conduction band levels. This absorption spectra show that the nucleation and growth process of In(2)S(3) NPs is very quick. The PL lifetime spectra and time resolved spectra give two emission processes in In(2)S(3) NPs, which would be excitonic recombination and electron-hole recombination via defects levels. The blue shift of emission peaks show the emission process in In(2)S(3) NPs is from mainly electron-holes recombination via defects levels to excitonic recombination. The Stokes shift becomes smaller which is mainly contributed by blue shift of emission and smaller contribution from the UV-Vis absorption. The absorption and emission spectra show the size and crystallinity of In(2)S(3) NPs have no changes (HRTEM images provide enough proofs); however the surface-related defects changed greatly in the reaction process.

Increasing the exposure of active sites and improving the intrinsic activity are necessary considerations for designing a highly efficient photocatalyst. Herein, an InS/AgI stable Z-scheme heterojunction with highly dispersed AgI nanoparticles (NPs) is synthesized by the mild self-templated and in-situ ion exchange strategy. Impressively, the optimized InS/AgI-300 Z-scheme heterojunction exhibits superior photodegradation activity (0.

In order to achieve rapid and sensitive detection of CYFRA 21-1, a signal-off photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor was devised with NiCoO/CdInS/InS heterojunction photoactive materials as sensing platform and ReS@Au NPs as the secondary antibody labels amplifying signal based on the energy band-matching cascade structure and double suppression effect. NiCoO possessed a faster charge transfer rate due to the abundance of redox electron pairs (Co/Co and Ni/Ni). To further improve the PEC properties of NiCoO under visible light, CdInS with matching bandgap energy was selected to form heterojunction with NiCoO and sensitized with InS.

Indium sulfide nanoparticle (NP)-embedded microporous carbons co-doped with S- and N-dopants are easily prepared by a direct carbonization of the as-prepared In(iii)-based metal-organic framework (In-MOF), [EtNH][In(tdc)]·DEF, containing ditopic S-containing 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylate (tdc) bridging linkers as a potential source of S-dopant. The charge on the anionic framework of [In(tdc)] is balanced by EtNH, which is also a potential N-dopant. Simultaneous embedding of In-based NPs, S-, and N-co-doping is achieved in a simple single step carbonization of In-MOF.

Solar cells consisting of an extremely thin In2S3/CuInS2 buffer/absorber layer uniformly covering planar ZnO were prepared entirely by chemical spray pyrolysis. Au nanoparticles (Au-NPs) were formed via thermal decomposition of a gold(III) chloride trihydrate (HAuCl4·3H2O) precursor by spraying 2 mmol/L of the aqueous precursor solution onto a substrate held at 260 °C. Current-voltage scans and external quantum efficiency spectra were used to evaluate the solar cell performance.

In this paper, carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were successfully synthesized by electrospinning technique. Next, Au nanoparticles (NPs) were assembled on the electrospun CNFs through in situ reduction method. By using the obtained Au NPs modified CNFs (CNFs/Au) as hard template, the In2S3/CNFs/Au composites were synthesized through hydrothermal technique.
