In this paper, novel hierarchical Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) particles were synthesized by a solvothermal method. The effects of synthetic conditions, such as reaction temperature, reaction time, solution concentration, and the amount of PVP, were investigated. The results showed that the size and morphology...
