摘要：
Quaternary chalcogenide Cu2FeSnS4 (CFTS) particles, a potential candidate for application as absorber layer in thin film solar cells, were successfully synthesized by using a convenient solvothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results revealed that the CFTS particles possessed pure tetragonal structure with high crystallinity. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) results showed that the average size of the CFTS particles was about 200 nm and the composition of products was close to the stoichiometry of CFTS. UV-vis absorption spectrum showed that the CFTS particles had a broad absorption band in the whole visible range with a band gap of 1.28 eV, which are promising for photovoltaic applications.
