Colloidal synthesis of wurtzite Cu2ZnSnS4 nanorods and their perpendicular assembly

Date

Abstract
The quaternary copper chalcogenide, Cu2ZnSnS4, is an important emerging material for the development of low cost and sustainable solar cells. Here we report a facile solution synthesis of stoichiometric Cu2ZnSnS4 in size controlled nano-rod form (11 ×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.
