Chalcogenide semiconducting nanoparticles are promising building blocks for solution-processed fabrication of optoelectronic devices. In this work, we report a new large-scale colloidal synthesis metastable CuInSe2 with hexagonal plate-like morphology. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis the showed that structure is not simple wurtzite-type (space group P63mc), indicating formation an ordered superstructure. Detailed insight into structural aspect was explored by high-resolution electron...

Bottom-up fabrication of thermoelectric (TE) materials from colloidal nanocrystal (NC) building blocks can substantially increase their TE efficiency, for example, by reducing lattice thermal conductivity. In this work, 10 nm spherical phase-pure oleate-capped PbTe NCs with narrow size distribution were synthesized and employed to fabricate 50 thick films on insulating SiO2/Si substrates. The spin-coating, subsequent ligand exchange procedure, was applied enhance coupling interactions...
