Abstract

Ternary metal sulfide nanocrystals (TMS NCs) have drawn intense attention for their wide applications in photovoltaics and nanophotonics, etc. However, a facile and general method for controlled synthesis of TMS NCs with uniform size and pure crystal phase is yet to be realized. Here we report a simple and versatile one-pot method for preparing high quality TMS NCs with controlled morphologies, sizes, crystalline structures and compositions, including orthorhombic Cu₃BiS₃ nanosheets and nanoparticles, orthorhombic Cu₄Bi₄S₉ nanowires and nanoribbons, wurtzite CuInS₂ nanopencils, cubic AgBiS₂ nanocubes, orthorhombic Ag₈SnS₆ nanoparticles, and orthorhombic Cu₃SnS₄ nanorods, based on the co-thermal decomposition of metal-diethyl dithiocarbamate (metal-DDTC) precursors. We expect that this methodology will be broadly applicable for synthesizing new metal sulfide NCs and play an important role in exploring their new properties for various applications.
