Abstract

Quaternary chalcopyrite (Cu(2)CoSnS(4), Cu(2)ZnSnS(4)) nanocrystals displaying high crystallization and controlled morphology were synthesized via a high-temperature growth regime achieved by dissolution-reprecipitation of tailored ultrafine precursors in the temperature range 400-500 °C.
