Abstract

Cu2MgSnS4 (CMTS) nanoparticles are successfully prepared via a solvothermal approach. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman reveal that pure zinc-blende CMTS phase is obtained. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shows that CMTS nanoparticles exhibit microsphere structure. The band gap of as-obtained CMTS nanoparticles is calculated to be 1.68eV, indicating a potential candidate for tandem solar cells. The degradation rate of methylene blue (MB) with under visible-light irradiation is about 87%, indicating that CMTS can be useful for effective visible-light photocatalyst.
