This project aims to develop cost-effective Cu2ZnSnS4 nanocrystals for two solar devices for electricity and hydrogen production. The copper-zinc-tin-sulphide (Cu2ZnSnS4) nanoparticle for solar cells has been less than two per cent efficient for years and photoelectrochemical devices have been recently recognised but less explored. The combined innovative modification of its nanocrystals, and grain growth approach for enhancing light absorption and photogenerated carrier collection efficiency should elucidate underlying mechanism of and provide solutions to the problem which has baffled researchers in above areas for several years. The intended resulting simple, cost-effective solar-driven electricity and hydrogen devices should make significant contributions to goals of commercially viable storage of solar energy and solutions to global energy and environment issues.

该项目旨在开发具有成本效益的CU2ZNSNS4纳米晶体，用于两个太阳能设备，用于电力和氢气。多年来，太阳能电池的铜 - 锌硫化物（Cu2ZNS4S4）纳米颗粒的效率一直不到2％，并且最近认识到光电化学设备，但较少探索。其纳米晶体的创新修饰以及增强光吸收和光生载体收集效率的谷物生长方法应阐明该问题的基本机制，并为在上述地区困扰的问题提供了几年的困扰。预期的简单，成本效益的太阳能驱动电力和氢设备应为在商业上可行的太阳能存储和解决全球能源和环境问题的解决方案做出重大贡献。
