The chalcogenide perovskite family has been steadily gaining increasing attention from the research community due to its optoelectronic properties and potential for diverse applications. While BaZrS3 and BaTiS3 have been the most extensively studied, other promising compounds in this family, such as SrxTiS3 (1.05 < x < 1.22), are now being explored for various optical, optoelectronic, and energy storage applications. However, challenges remain in achieving the low-temperature synthesis of SrxTiS3. In this study, we report, for the first time, the synthesis of SrxTiS3 nanocrystals at temperatures below 400 °C. The synthesized nanocrystals exhibit a rod-like morphology. Additionally, we have developed solution-processing routes to synthesize phase-pure SrxTiS3 thin films, marking the first reported instance of such films, at temperatures below 600 °C. We also demonstrate the solid-state synthesis of SrxTiS3 powder below 600 °C. Our work paves the way for new and exciting application avenues for SrxTiS3.
