“…This observation could be attributed to the effect of citric acid on the growth kinetics of the CZTS particles, leading to the formation of larger particles with different morphologies. Overall, the FESEM analysis provides valuable information on the morphology of the CZTS particles grown with different citric acid concentrations 42 . These insights could be helpful in developing novel synthesis strategies to control the morphology and size of CZTS particles for various applications, including solar cells, sensors, and catalysis.…”

Copper zinc tin sulphide (CZTS) has emerged as a highly promising, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly material for solar energy conversion via photovoltaic and photocatalysis. This paper presents the synthesis of quasi Cu2ZnSnS4 nanoparticles using a hydrothermal route with citric acid as a structure-directing agent. The CZTS nanoparticles' morphological, structural, and optical properties were comprehensively analysed using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and UV-Vis absorption studies. The results demonstrate the successful synthesis of CZTS nanoparticles with a novel narrow size distribution, making them excellent candidates as absorber layers in solar cells. This discovery holds significant potential for advancing low-cost and efficient solar energy conversion technologies. By harnessing the unique properties of CZTS, this research offers a promising solution towards sustainable energy production and a greener future.
