摘要：
Cu2ZnSnS4 nanocrystals (NCs) were synthesized via a low-cost one-pot method. The recipe was optimized by using photoelectrochemical measurements of NC films in contact with a methyl viologen solution. Non-stoichiometric copper-rich and zinc-poor starting molar ratios provided the best overall photovoltaic effect. Other analytical techniques were used to further identify the NC composition, topography and crystallinity. The oxidation states were found to be 1+, 2+, 4+ and 2- for copper, zinc, tin and sulphur, respectively.
