RESUMO
Pristine and substituted tetrahedrite nanoparticles have shown immense potential as low-cost and sustainable materials for energy conversion applications. However, the commonly used synthetic methods for their production are cumbersome and are not easily scalable. In this work, we report a facile colloidal synthetic protocol for the preparation of phase-pure samples of pristine (Cu12 Sb4 S13 ) and Zn-substituted (Cu11 ZnSb4 S13 ) tetrahedrite nanoparticles on the gram scale. Both tetrahedrite compositions were found to be photothermally responsive, enabling their use in solar-driven water evaporation.
