Ternary copper chalcogenides Cu3MX4, also known as the sulvanite family, have been identified as promising materials for optoelectronic devices, with experimental and theoretical studies providing insights into their properties at both bulk and nanoscale. The recent development of sulvanites at nanoscale has opened up new possibilities for printable electronics.
The class of ternary copper chalcogenides Cu3MX4 (M = V, Nb, Ta; X = S, Se, Te), also known as the sulvanite family, has attracted attention in the past decade as featuring promising materials for optoelectronic devices, including solar photovoltaics. Experimental and theoretical studies of these semiconductors have provided much insight into their properties, both in bulk and at the nanoscale. The recent realization of sulvanites at the nanoscale opens new avenues for the compounds toward printable electronics. This review is aimed at the consideration of synthesis methods, relevant properties and the recent developments of the most important sulvanites.
