Abstract:
Focusing on ternary I-III-VI2 colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) synthesized with precise control of the composition (from doping to ternary composition) and NIR fluorescence performance, monodisperse binary In3+ -doped Ag2 S NCs and ternary AgInS2 NCs have been achieved successfully by facile low-temperature in situ conversion of colloidal Ag2 S nanoparticles. In3+ ions were inserted into the crystal lattice of Ag2 S NCs at a relatively low temperature as dopant and ternary AgInS2 NCs were obtained at a higher temperature following a phase transition. These doped Ag2 S and AgInS2 NCs based on different indium precursor concentrations were explored with respect to the position and intensity of the near-infrared photoluminescent emission at different doping levels and crystal phase evolution.
