Solution-Based Synthesis and Characterization of Cu2ZnSnS4 Nanocrystals
Abstract
Recent advances have been made in thin-film solar cells using CdTe and CuIn(1-x)Ga(x)Se(2) (CIGS) nanoparticles, which have achieved impressive efficiencies. Despite these efficiencies, CdTe and CIGS are not amenable to large-scale production because of the cost and scarcity of Te, In, and Ga. Cu(2)ZnSnS(4) (CZTS), however, is an emerging solar cell material that contains only earth-abundant elements and has a near-optimal direct band gap of 1.45-1.65 eV and a large absorption coefficient. Here we report the direct synthesis of CZTS nanocrystals using the hot-injection method. In-depth characterization indicated that pure stoichiometric CZTS nanocrystals with an average particle size of 12.8 +/- 1.8 nm were formed. Optical measurements showed a band gap of 1.5 eV, which is optimal for a single-junction solar device.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
