We demonstrated in this paper the shape-controlled synthesis of ZnIn2S4, CuInS2, and CuInSe2nano- and microstructures through a facile solution-based route. One-dimensional ZnIn2S4 nanotubes andnanoribbons were synthesized by a solvothermal method with pyridine as the solvent, while ZnIn2S4 solidor hollow microspheres were hydrothermally prepared in the presence of a surfactant such as cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) or poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The mechanisms related to the phaseformation and morphology control of ZnIn2S4 are proposed and discussed. The UV-vis absorption spectrashow that the as-prepared nano- and micromaterials have strong absorption in a wide range from UV tovisible light and that their band gaps are somewhat relevant to the size and morphology. Thephotoluminescence measurements of the ZnIn2S4 microspheres at room temperature reveal intenseexcitation at ~575 nm and red emission at ~784 nm. Furthermore, CuInS2 and CuInSe2 with differentmorphologies such as spheres, platelets, rods, and fishbonelike shapes were also obtained by similarhydrothermal and solvothermal synthesis.
