Abstract:

To broaden the potential applications of colloidal quantum dots, sustainable synthetic protocols must be developed and optimised. In this report, we use a low-temperature water-based synthesis of Cu-In-Zn-S quantum dots (CIZS) and we analyse the effect of different ligands (citrate, ascorbate, glutathione, cysteine and mercapto-acetic acid) on crystal growth and composition. The ligands employed have a strong effect on the metal incorporation within the nanocrystal, leading to wide tunability of the photophysical behaviour of the resulting CIZS quantum dots.

Colloidal precipitates

Colloidal precipitates

The high insolubility of some precipitates can result in an unfavorable relative supersaturation. This can lead to colloidal particles with a large surface-to-mass ratio, where adsorption is promoted. For instance, in the precipitation of silver chloride, silver ions are adsorbed on the surface of the colloidal particles, forming a primary layer. This layer attracts ions of opposite charge (such as nitrate ions), forming a diffuse secondary layer of adsorbed ions. This electric double layer...

Ziegler–Natta Chain-Growth Polymerization: Overview

Ziegler–Natta Chain-Growth Polymerization: Overview

Ziegler–Natta polymerization is another form of addition or chain‐growth polymerization used for synthesizing linear polymers over branched polymers. The catalyst used for polymerization is the Ziegler–Natta catalyst, named after Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta, who developed it in 1953. This catalyst is an organometallic complex of titanium tetrachloride and triethyl aluminum, with the active form of the catalyst being an alkyl titanium compound. Using the Ziegler–Natta...
