Abstract

High-quality Cu₂ZnSnS₄ nanocrystals with narrow size distribution were prepared via a facile hot-injection route by using simple inorganic metallic salt Cu(OAc)₂, Zn(OAc)₂ and SnCl ₄ as raw materials, stearic acid and octadecylamine as capping molecules and diphenyl ether as solvent. In this paper, we have studied in depth for the influence on the morphologies of the nanocrystals by changing the ratio of stearic acid and octadecylamine. It is shown that Cu₂ZnSnS ₄ nanocrystals grow bigger and have complex nanostructures by increasing the amount of stearic acid. And this material has a strong absorption under the whole region from UV to visible lights. It is believed that Cu ₂ZnSnS₄ has a potential application in photovoltaic devices.
