Abstract We report on a novel room temperature approach for the synthesis of environmentally-friendly copper zinc tin sulfide (Cu2ZnSnS4) nanoparticles. The method is shown to be compositionally robust and able to produce S2--stabilized carbon-free nanoparticle inks that are suitable for an absorber layer in solar cells. No organic residues from the process were detected. The metal-composition and the occurrence of secondary phases is here correlated with synthesis conditions: By utilizing a reactant concentration of Cu/Sn
