AB  - In the present work, flower-like Cu<sub>2</sub>SrSnS<sub>4</sub> (CSTS) sample is successfully prepared by 
solvothermal method. The XRD and Raman analysis confirm that pure CSTS phase with 
trigonal structure is obtained. The band gap of as-obtained CSTS naocrystals is estimated 
to be 1.49eV. The removal of methylene blue (MB) within 100min under simulated solar 
light irradiation is around 90%, depicting that CSTS is a potential material for effective 
solar light photocatalytic application. Meanwhile, The Seebeck coefficient and electrical 
conductivity of CSTS material can reach to 128.57μV•K<sup>-1</sup> and 20.35S·m<sup>-1</sup>
 at 675K, 
respectively, indicating its potential for thermoelectric application.
