Nanocrystals of (AgxCu1-x)2ZnSnS4 (ACZTS) compounds were obtained by chemical synthesis, followed by the formation of thin (1 μm) films. Magnetron sputtering of the corresponding metals with subsequent annealing was used to form Cu2ZnSn(SxSe1-x)4 (CZTSSe) films. It was found that NC (Cu, Ag)-Zn-Sn-S obtained by colloidal synthesis is a combination of primary (ACZTS) and secondary Ag-Zn-S phases. The presence of the latter explains the non-monotonic dependence of the bandgap of the ACZTS NC on the Ag / Cu ratio. The correlation between the change of elemental composition, morphology, and Eg of Cu2ZnSn(SxSe1-x)4 films with variation x = S / (S + Se) is established.
