  • size shape and assembly controlled synthesis of cu2 xse nanocrystalsvia a non injection phosphine free Colloidal Method
    CrystEngComm, 2012
    Co-Authors: Huaibin Shen, Hongzhe Wang, Hang Yuan
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we report a facile, “green”, phosphine-free, low-cost, and non-injection Method to obtain size-, shape-, and assembly-controllable Cu2−xSe nanocrystals which can be used as uniform building blocks. Different sizes of monodispersed Cu2−xSe nanocrystals were synthesized successfully by simply controlling the reaction temperature. The highly uniform Cu2−xSe nanocrystals can be well controlled from 4 to 20 nm when the temperature was set from 120 to 200 °C. By changing the ratios of CuSt2, oleic acid (OA), oleylamine (OAM), and selenium-octadecene (Se-ODE) precursor, Cu2−xSe nanocrystals with different shapes (hexagonal, elongated hexagonal bipyramid-shaped, trigonal pyramidal-shaped) and assembly behaviors (hexagonal Cu2−xSe nanodiscs with 1D, 2D, and 3D columnar self-assembly, elongated hexagonal bipyramid-shaped Cu2−xSe with 2D and 3D self-assembly, trigonal pyramidal-shaped Cu2−xSe nanocrystals with different arrays) were obtained indeed. Even though both OA and OAM were used as stabilizers to synthesize different shaped Cu2−xSe nanocrystals, FTIR results indicated that the surface of the as-synthesized nanocrystals was only capped by OAM. XRD studies confirmed that three different shapes of Cu2−xSe nanocrystals prepared with this non-injection Method are all cubic berzelianite and well-crystallized. Current–voltage (I–V) behaviors of different shaped Cu2−xSe nanocrystals were measured and all found to have low resistivities.

  • Large scale synthesis of stable tricolor Zn1 − xCdxSe core/multishell nanocrystalsvia a facile phosphine-free Colloidal Method
    Dalton transactions (Cambridge England : 2003), 2011
    Co-Authors: Huaibin Shen, Hongzhe Wang, Changhua Zhou, Jin Zhong Niu, Hang Yuan
    Abstract:

    Here we report a new “green” Method to synthesize Zn1 − xCdxSe (x = 0–1) and stable red–green–blue tricolor Zn1 − xCdxSe core/shell nanocrystals using only low cost, phosphine-free and environmentally friendly reagents. The first excitonic absorption peak and photoluminescence (PL) position of the Zn1 − xCdxSe nanocrystals (the value of x is in the range 0.005–0.2) can be fixed to any position in the range 456–540 nm. There is no red or blue shift in the entire reaction process. Three similar sizes of alloyed Zn1 − xCdxSe nanocrystals with blue, green, and yellow emissions were successfully selected as cores to synthesize high quality blue, green, and red core/shell nanocrystal emitters. For the synthesis of core/shell nanocrystals with a high quantum yield (QY) and stability, the selection of shell materials has been proven to be very important. Therefore, alternative protocols have been used to optimize thick shell growth. ZnSe/ZnSexS1 − x and CdS/Zn1 − xCdxS have been found as an excellent middle multishell to overcoat between the alloyed Zn1 − xCdxSe core and ZnS outshell. The QYs of the as-synthesized core/shell alloyed Zn1 − xCdxSe nanocrystals can reach 40–75%. The Cd content is reduced to less than 0.1% for Zn1 − xCdxSe core/shell nanocrystals with emissions in the range 456–540 nm. More than 15 g of high quality Zn1 − xCdxSe core/shell nanocrystals were prepared successfully in a large scale, one-pot reaction. Importantly, the emissions of such thick multishell nanocrystals are not susceptible to ligand loss and stability in various physiological conditions.

  • CuAgSe nanocrystals: Colloidal synthesis, characterization and their thermoelectric performance
    Journal of Materials Science, 2018
    Co-Authors: Yong Zuo, Qiong-ping He, Ji-ming Song, He-lin Niu, Yu Liu, Chang-jie Mao
    Abstract:

    CuAgSe is a promising thermoelectric (TE) material for its superior carrier mobility and ultralow lattice thermal conductivity. Herein, we present a scalable Colloidal Method to prepare monodisperse CuAgSe nanocrystals with high yield. The collected powder sample was washed by a sulfur-free reagent of NaNH2 to remove the surface organic ligands (CuAgSe-W) and then annealed (CuAgSe-W-A). Both kinds of ligand-free samples were then hot pressed into dense pellets to measure the TE property. The results revealed that the crystal structure of both samples changed from low-temperature β-phase to high-temperature α-phase at around 465 K. Sample CuAgSe-W shows interesting temperature-dependent transition from N-type to P-type, which could be potentially used as thermal control transistor. Sample CuAgSe-W-A does not display this transition state but it exhibits potential for intermediate temperature TE applications with a figure-of-merit zT reaching 0.68 at 566 K.
