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.
