Abstract:
We report a facile chemical route for the synthesis of monodisperse nanocrystals of various metal sulfides (PbS, Cu(2)S, and Ag(2)S) and their assemblies into nanocrystal superlattices (NCSs); the sulfides NCSs were precipitated by adding ethanol to nanocrystal colloids, which were obtained directly by a reaction between metal thiolate and thioacetamide in a pure dodecanethiol solvent.
