Abstract

A seed mediated colloidal solution-phase growth method was developed for preparing binary chalcogenide heteronanostructures (Cu2S-PbS and Ag2S-ZnS). Ionic semiconductors (Cu1.94S, Ag2S) were prepared as seeds for the reason that cations in these semiconductors behave virtually like a “fluid” in the high temperature reaction solution, endowing them to catalyze the nucleation and growth of other chalcogenide semiconductors on their surface. Unique Cu2S-PbS heteronanostructures have good photothermal conversion effect due to the synergistic effect. Using tiny Ag2S nanocrystals as catalysts can prepare ultrathin ZnS nanorods/nanowires. Chloride ions introduced in the reaction induced the controlled morphology transition from straight to kinking.
