The synthesis of an air and moisture stable germanium complex and its use in the synthesis of ternary and quaternary copper containing nanocrystals (NCs) is described. Through the use of H-1-/C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies, thermogravimetric analysis, and powder X-ray diffraction, the speciation and chemistry of this precursor is elucidated. This germanium source is employed in the gram scale, noninjection synthesis of Cu2ZnGeS4 (CZGeS) and Cu2GeS3 (CGeS) NCs using a binary sulfide precursor approach. To demonstrate the versatility of such NCs for fabricating thin films suitable for high-efficiency optoelectronic devices, they are blended with Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) NCs and selenized to form homogeneously alloyed Cu2ZnSnxGe1-xSySe4-y (CZTGeSSe) thin films. The structural, optical, and electronic properties of such thin films are studied using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy, and photoelectron spectroscopy in air. These measurements demonstrate collectively that incorporating Ge into micrometer-sized, tetragonal Cu2ZnSnSxSe4-x (CZTSSe) provides a facile manner in which the conduction band energy can be readily tuned. The strategy developed herein provides a pathway to controlled levels of Ge incorporation in a single step process, thus avoiding the need for intra-alloyed Cu2ZnSnxGe1-xS4 nanocrystals.
