title: A top-down strategy to synthesize wurtzite Cu2ZnSnS4 nanocrystals by green chemistry.
abstract: Green synthesis of metastable wurtzite Cu2ZnSnS4 nanocrystals through a top-down synthetic strategy is presented. Formation mechanisms associated with Kirkendall and etching effects are illustrated in detail. The nanocrystals exhibit remarkable photoluminescence properties at room temperature.
