Selective growth of PbSe on one or both tips of colloidal semiconductor nanorods.

چکیده
PbSe nanocrystals with rock-salt structure are grown on the tips of colloidal CdS and CdSe nanorods. The facets of wurtzite rods provide a substrate with various degrees of reactivity for the growth of PbSe. The presence of dangling Cd bonds may explain subtle differences between nonequivalent facets resulting in the selective nucleation of PbSe only on one of the two tips of each CdS rod. This approach has the potential to facilitate the fabrication of heterostructures with tailored optical and electronic properties.

Two of the most important research directions in the preparation of nanocrystals are the growth of non-spherical quantum-confined structures and nanocrystal heterostructures. Non-spherical structures provide a means of understanding the effect of dimensionality and structural anisotropy on quantum-confined optoelectronic behavior and also introduce new degrees of freedom in engineering nanocrys...
متن کاملSilver Tip Formation on Colloidal CdSe Nanorods by a Facile Phase Transfer Protocol
A facile phase transfer procedure is described for the formation of uniform silver metal tips on II–VI semiconductor nanorods. Judicious choice of a functional ligand dimethyl phenol (DMP) which binds to the semiconductor rod in the organic phase enables the transfer of metal ions from the aqueous phase and their reduction onto the nanorod. The nanorod hybrids can be assembled into perpendicula...
متن کاملElectronic grade and flexible semiconductor film employing oriented attachment of colloidal ligand-free PbS and PbSe nanocrystals at room temperature.
Electronic grade semiconductor films have been obtained via the sintering of solution processed PbS and PbSe nanocrystals at room temperature. Prior attempts to achieve similar films required the sintering of nanocrystals at higher temperatures (>350 °C), which inhibits the processing of such films on a flexible polymer substrate, and it is also expensive. We reduced the sintering temperature b...

In the present work, we focused on geometrical (singleor double-tipped) and compositional (Pt or Au) variations of active metal components in a well-defined CdSe nanorod system. These colloidal nanostructures were employed for photocatalytic hydrogen generation from water under the identical reaction conditions with visible light irradiation. The catalysts exhibited significant dependency of th...
متن کاملSelective growth of metal and binary metal tips on CdS nanorods.
Advances in the size1 and shape2 control of solution-grown nanocrystals have driven recent interest in the development of welldefined multicomponent nanostructures. Composition control, through the incorporation of two or more distinct nanostructured components, represents an effective approach to tailoring the chemical and physical properties of nanocrystals. The resulting hybrid structures of...
