Cu 2 FeSnS 4 (CFTS) nanocrystals with tunable crystal phase have been synthesized using a solution-based method. As-synthesized CFTS nanocrystals in the shape of oblate spheroid and triangular plate with band gaps of 1.54 ± 0.04 and 1.46 ± 0.03 eV, respectively, appear attractive as a low-cost subst...

Summary:Cu 2 FeSnS 4 (CFTS) nanocrystals with tunable crystal phase have been synthesized using a solution-based method. As-synthesized CFTS nanocrystals in the shape of oblate spheroid and triangular plate with band gaps of 1.54 ± 0.04 and 1.46 ± 0.03 eV, respectively, appear attractive as a low-cost substitute for thin film solar cells. Cu 2 FeSnS 4 (CFTS) nanocrystals with tunable crystal phase and a band gap of around 1.5 eV have been synthesized, which are attractive as a low-cost substitute for thin film solar cells.
