Synthesis of Cu 2 SnSe 3 nanocrystals for solution processable photovoltaic cells

This paper describes the synthesis of ternary chalcogenide Cu2SnSe3 nanocrystals as an alternative solar absorber material to conventional quaternary CuInxGa1–xSe2. We used the hot coordination solvent method with hexadecylamine as the capping ligand for the first time for this material system. Usin...
