Abstract

The electroactive thiophosphate NiPS3 has been prepared by the solution-based combination of Ni2+ ions with (P2S6)4- anions. The product transforms from an aqueous sol to a gel, which can either be used for coating substrates directly or precipitated to form an amorphous powder. The dry amorphous solid is a stable semiconductor (Eg~1.6eV) with photoconductive properties, and it can be made more crystalline by annealing under inert atmosphere. Strong annealing renders it indistinguishable from normal monoclinic crystalline NiPS3.
