  text: 'Cu2ZnSnS4, based on abundant and environmental friendly elements and with
    a direct band gap of 1.5 eV, is a main candidate material for solar energy conversion
    through both photovoltaics and photocatalysis. We detail here the synthesis of
    quasi-spherical Cu 2ZnSnS4 nanoparticles with unprecedented narrow size distributions.
    We further detail their use as seeds to produce CZTS-Au and CZTS-Pt heterostructured
    nanoparticles. Such heterostructured nanoparticles are shown to have excellent
    photocatalytic properties toward degradation of Rhodamine B and hydrogen generation
    by water splitting. '
