Abstract:
In this study, a single-source molecular precursor pyrolysis approach for the synthesis of nearly monodisperse Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) nanocrystals on a large scale is described. The metallorganic complexes are employed to decouple the nucleation and growth stages of the reaction. The structure and composition of the as-synthesized CZTS nanocrystals is confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman scattering. Narrowly distributed spherical nanoparticles with the diameter from 8 to 20 nm can be seen from transmission electron microscope (TEM) image. The absorption spectra indicate that the tetragonal CZTS nanocrystals have an optical band gap of 1.52 eV which is optimal for photovoltaic applications. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
