| Résumé |
|
Delafossite CuGaO(2) is a prototype p-type transparent semiconducting oxide. We report here a new ethylene glycol (EG) mediated hydrothermal synthesis route to this material from soluble hydrated metal nitrates. We found that EG acts as a reducing agent which eases the formation of CuGaO(2) by stabilizing Cu(I) at low temperature in hydrothermal conditions. Moreover, we observed that the initial pH of the precursors solution is a key parameter to tune the particle sizes (from 2 mm to 300 nm) and subsequently the color (from dark brown to light gray) of the CuGaO(2) powder. The optimal synthesis conditions to obtain the brightest product are described. In these conditions, the CuGaO(2) powder exhibits a pale grayish color and contains 300 nm large nano-layered particles approximately 20 nm thick.
