“…), is one of the representatives of Cu-Sn-S ternary chalcogenides and a direct band gap P-type semiconductor material [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Copper tin sulphide has broad application prospects in photoelectric [9][10][11], thermoelectric [12,13], photocatalysis [14][15][16][17], non-linear optics, electrode materials [18], hydrophobicity, gas-sensitive materials [19], adsorption in the light and electromagnetic wave [20][21][22] and so on. The main research object of this paper is Cu 3 SnS 4 , abbreviated as CTS.…”
