  • Synthesis of metal chalcogenide nanocrystals using organodichalcogenide reagents
    Patent number: 8012448
    Abstract: A method of synthesizing metal chalcogenide nanocrystals involving the steps of combining an organodichalcogenide, a metal salt and a ligand compound to form a mixture; degassing the mixture to remove air and water from the mixture; heating the mixture at a temperature below the decomposition temperature of the organodichalcogenide for a period of time sufficient to form a metal chalcogenide nanocrystal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 9, 2010
    Date of Patent: September 6, 2011
    Assignee: University of Southern California
    Inventors: Richard L. Brutchey, Matthew A. Franzman, David H. Webber
