Simple and Generalized Synthesis of Semiconducting Metal Sulfide Nanocrystals

Uniform‐sized semiconducting nanocrystals of binary metal sulfides are synthesized from the thermolysis of metal‐oleate complexes in alkanethiol. The size of the Cu2S nanocrystals can be tuned from 7 to 20 nm by varying the reaction conditions. Various shaped nanocrystals of CdS, ZnS, MnS, and PbS a...

Summary:Uniform‐sized semiconducting nanocrystals of binary metal sulfides are synthesized from the thermolysis of metal‐oleate complexes in alkanethiol. The size of the Cu2S nanocrystals can be tuned from 7 to 20 nm by varying the reaction conditions. Various shaped nanocrystals of CdS, ZnS, MnS, and PbS are synthesized from the thermal reaction of metal‐oleate complex in alkanethiol. Uniform‐sized semiconducting metal sulfide nanocrystals are synthesized from the thermolysis of metal–oleate complexes in alkanethiol. The size of the Cu2S nanocrystals can be tuned from 7 to 20 nm(see image) by varying the reaction conditions. Various shaped nanocrystals of CdS, ZnS, MnS, and PbS are synthesized from the thermal reaction of metal–oleate complex in alkanethiol.
