Colloidal synthesis of wurtzite Cu ₂ZnSnS ₄ nanorods and their perpendicular assembly

University of Limerick

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The quaternary copper chalcogenide Cu ₂ZnSnS ₄ is an important emerging material for the development of low-cost and sustainable solar cells. Here we report a facile solution synthesis of stoichiometric Cu ₂ZnSnS ₄ in size-controlled nanorod form (11 nm × 35 nm). The monodisperse nanorods have a band gap of 1.43 eV and can be assembled into perpendicularly aligned arrays by controlled evaporation from solution.
