ynthesis of SnS Quantum Dots

摘要

Narrow band gap IV-VI semiconductor nanoparticles (NPs) such as PbS, SnTe, and SnS that are optically active in the near-infrared (NIR) and infrared (IR) are of great interest for their applications in photovoltaics, near-infrared detectors, and biomedical applications such as hyperthermia where strong IR absorption is required.These applications have stimulated the search for convenient synthetic methodologies to make SnS NPs with narrow size distributions and well-defined optical properties.
