ABSTRACT = {In present work, Cu<sub>2</sub>BaSnS<sub>4</sub>(CBTS) nanoparticles are reported solvothermally synthesized. 
The formation of single-phase trigonal structure of CBTS nanoparticles is confirmed by 
XRD and Raman spectroscopic analysis. SEM studies reveal that CBTS exhibits flower 
shaped structure self-assembling by nanosheets with uniform average thickness 30nm. 
CBTS materials show abroad absorption in the complete visible range, providing a 
band-gap value of 1.58eV, indicating potential applications in photocvoltaics. The 
excellent MB degradation efficiency of 93% under visible light within 100min is achieved, 
suggesting CBTS is a potential material for effective solar light photocatalytic application. 
Meanwhile, electrical properties are measured up to 675K, the value of Seebeck 
coefficient of CBTS material can reach to 111.42μV•K<sup>-1</sup>
, meanwhile the value of electrical 
conductivity is 18.24S·m<sup>-1</sup>
, indicating its potential for thermoelectric application. },
