Diagrams of the formation of In2S3 and In 2Se3 films on vitroceramic upon precipitation, according to potentiometric titration

Abstract

Boundary conditions and ranges of the formation of indium(III) sulfide and selenide upon precipitation by thiocarbamide and selenocarbamide are determined. Potentiometric titration of indium chloride (InCl3) in the concentration range of 0.0001 to 0.100 mol/L by a solution of sodium hydroxide is performed. It is found that the following pH ranges are optimal for In 2S3 and In2Se3 film precipitation: from 3.0 to 4.5 and from 9.0 to 14.0. Indium selenide layers 100 to 300 nm thick are prepared on vitroceramic by hydrochemcial precipitation. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
