  • Preparation of nanocrystals for thermoelectric and solar cell applications using sulfide-based nanocrystal precursors in colloidal systems
    Patent number: 8728434
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of synthesizing a nanocrystal. The method can include reacting a bismuth material, an antimony material, and a ligand together with a heat source. The method may also include injecting a sulfur precursor at a predetermined temperature and maintaining the predetermined temperature for a predetermined amount of time to form a plurality of precursor nanocrystals. The precursor nanocrystals may include Bi0.5Sb1.5S3 nanocrystals.
    Type: Grant
