Chemically-synthesized Nanozymes that are widely used as alternatives to enzymes face challenges such as high precursor costs, complex preparation processes, and limited catalytic efficiency. To overcome these drawbacks, we introduce naturally derived nanozymes, nanomineralzymes, as a promising alternative, offering benefits like affordability, cost-effectiveness, and scalability. Chalcopyrite (CP, CuFeS) was sourced from a mineral deposit, and CP nanoparticles were produced by milling.

Thin films of chalcopyrite, CuFeS, are promising candidates for use as absorber layers in photovoltaic cells due to their low band gap and high absorbance. These films are typically deposited in two or three steps, always involving an annealing process. In this work, the CuFeS film was deposited on a glass substrate in a single deposition step using the cathodic cylindrical plasma deposition (CCyPD) technique.

The optimal conditions for synthesizing a pure chalcopyrite CuFeS phase were thoroughly investigated through the combination of mechanical alloying (MA) and hot pressing (HP) processes. The MA process was performed at a rotational speed of 350 rpm for durations ranging from 6 to 24 h under an Ar atmosphere, ensuring proper mixing and alloying of the starting materials. Afterward, MA-synthesized chalcopyrite powder was subjected to HP at temperatures between 723 K and 823 K under a pressure of 70 MPa for 2 h in a vacuum.
