Abstract

We present a non-injection, one-pot synthesis of kesterite Cu₂ZnSnS₄ (CZTS) nanocrystals (NCs) that allows for multi-gram yields with precise control of the NCs' metal composition. This is enabled through the selective use of a binary sulfur precursor and ligand reaction mixture, which acts to decouple the nucleation and growth stages.
