CuInSe2 synthesized by a modified solvothermal route could be altered considerably by controlling the reaction temperature, reaction time and washing agents. Synthesized CuInSe2 powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction. The particle size (t), lattice strain (ε) and Debye-Waller factor (B) were determined from the half-widths and integrated intensities of the Bragg reflections. The particle shape was spherical when demonized water was used as washing agent. Particles with the size down to 25.8nm were obtained. The variation of energy of vacancy formation as a function of lattice strain has been studied.
