Abstract
Considering the importance of physics and chemistry at material interfaces, we have explored the coupling of multinary chalcogenide semiconductor Cu2NiSnS4 nanoparticles (CNTS NPs) for the first time with the noble metal (Au) to form Au-CNTS nano-heterostructures (NHSs). The Au-CNTS NHSs is synthesized by a simple facile hot injection method. Synergistic experimental and theoretical approaches are employed to characterize the structural, optical, and electrical properties of the Au-CNTS NHSs. The absorption spectra demonstrate enhanced and broadened optical absorption in the ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared (UV-Vis-NIR) region, which is corroborated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) readings. CV measurements show type II staggered band alignment, with a conduction band offset (CBO) of 0.21 and 0.23 eV at the Au-CNTS/CdS and CNTS/CdS interface, respectively. Complementary first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations predict the formation of a stable Au-CNTS NHSs, with the Au nanoparticle transferring its electrons to the CNTS. Moreover, our interface analysis using ultrafast transient absorption experiments demonstrate that the Au-CNTS NHSs facilitates efficient transport and separation of photoexcited charge carriers when compared to pristine CNTS. The transient measurements further reveal a plasmonic electronic transfer from the Au nanoparticle to CNTS. Our advanced analysis and findings will prompt investigations into new functional materials and their photo/electrocatalysis and optoelectronic device applications in the future.

Abstract
p-Type compounds Cu2BaSnS4 (CBTS) are extremely attractive materials for photocathode applications because of their suitable conduction and valence bands, earth-abundant sources, and environmental friendly nature. Herein, an inexpensive and reproducible aqueous solution approach has been developed to synthesize CBTS films with single-crystalline grains as large as micron scale. Because of the large crystalline grains, the as-grown CBTS films show excellent carrier mobility (1.29 cm2/V·s). Greater than 4 mA·cm-2 photocurrent density has been obtained in a neutral solution for bare Mo/CBTS film photocathodes under 100 mW·cm-2 illumination at 0 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode.
