    Abstract:

Applications: Present investigation will focus of solution based synthesis of iron-pyrite (FeS2 ), and iron thio-silicate (Fe2SiS4 ), and investigate their structural, compositional, and electronic properties for assessing their potential for thin-film photovoltaic application.
Advantages: Both the compounds have suitable band-gap of 0.95 and 1.54 eV, respectively, high photo-absorption, as well as abundant availability of constituent elements, viz. iron, sulfur, and silicon which are also benign towards the environment compared to cadmium, selenium etc. that are being used in some of the relatively established thin-film PV materials. The facilities established in the PI's laboratory for this project would be Glove-box, a SILAR and Spin Coating instrument.

THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
