High quality wurtzite Cu2ZnSnS4 (W-CZTS) nanocrystals (NCs). could be easily obtained by a simple green one pot reaction process. Forming mechanism of the nanocrystals was investigated by XRD and Raman characterization. It demonstrated that forming W-CZTS started with nucleation of Cu2S, then Sn4+ diffused into Cu2S to form the Cu2SnS3, finally Zn2+ diffused into Cu2SnS3 to obtain W-CZTS. The optical and photocatalytic results of the WCZTS NCs indicated that W-CZTS nanocrystals with copper-poor composition showed a better photocatalytic activity (the degradation of MB (methylene blue) could reach up to 81.79%). Moreover, this non-injected one-pot method could be further popularized and become a common approach to synthesize other quaternary wurtzite Cu2MSnS4 (M = Fe+, Co2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Mg2+) nanocrystals.
