Abstract

Green synthesis of metastable wurtzite Cu₂ZnSnS₄ nanocrystals through a top-down synthetic strategy is presented. Formation mechanisms associated with Kirkendall and etching effects are illustrated in detail. The nanocrystals exhibit remarkable photoluminescence properties at room temperature.
