Thermodynamic properties of synthetic kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4
摘要
This work focuses on the thermodynamic properties of the synthetic powders and crystals of kesterite, Cu2ZnSnS4, in a wide temperature range based on in-house measurements of the isobaric heat capacity using adiabatic and differential scanning calorimetry. At temperatures over 318 K coefficients of the Maier–Kelley equation in the interval from 5 to 813 K were determined, and the standard thermodynamic functions: heat capacity, entropy, enthalpy change and Gibbs energy function have been calculated. At 298.15 K, Ср° = (186.9 ± 0.4) J/(mol· K), S° = (263.5 ± 0.5) J/(mol· K), Н°(298.15 K) - Н°(0) = (37.35 ± 0.07) kJ/mol, Ф° = (138.1 ± 0.3) J/(mol· K). Using the literature and reference data ∆fG°(Cu2ZnSnS4, 298.15 K) = - (460 ± 6) kJ/mol was calculated. The Debye temperature, equal to 390 K, has been calculated from the heat capacity using the fracton data processing method.
