In this study the preparation of Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) by means of a rapid microwave heating method at different temperatures is presented. Thiourea was used as sulfur precursor. The prepared CZTS nanocrystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis and UV/VIS spectroscopy. It was found that the structure and morphology of nanocrystals depends on the reaction temperature. Acknowledgment The work was carried out within the project VP1-3.1-ŠMM-08-K-01-009 that is partly supported by the National Programme “An improvement of the skills of researchers” launched by the Lithuanian Ministry of Education and Science.
