Abstract

A new route to ternary tin selenide in mild conditions has been uncovered in this paper. Nanocrystalline Cu₂SnSe₄ was directly synthesized from the reaction of CuCl₂.2H₂O, SnCl₂.2H₂O, and elemental selenium through solvothermal process in ethylenediamine at 140°C for 15 h. X-Ray powder diffraction (XRD) pattern and transmission electron microscope (TEM) images indicate that the product is a pure cubic Cu₂SnSe₄ phase in the form of well crystallization with an average grain size of ca. 15 nm. The mechanism of the formation of the Cu₂SnSe₄ nanocrystals in the solvothermal process is proposed. The solvent ethylenediamine plays an important role in the growth of nanocrystals.
