Abstract

Quaternary Cu2CdSnS4 (CCTS) nanoparticles were synthesised via a microwave irradiation method. The as-synthesised CCTS nanoparticles were characterised by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and UV–vis–NIR absorbance spectroscopy measurements. It is shown that the CCTS nanoparticles exhibit a sphere-like shape and a suitable bandgap (Eg = 1.26 eV), indicating they are a potential candidate for application as the absorber layer in thin film solar cells.
