Abstract
Non-polar solvent electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is a rapidly emerging technique for the formation of tightly packed, robust, and smooth films of nanocrystals, typically synthesized through colloidal chemistry. Using non-polar solvents, such as hexane , for the nanocrystal deposition suspension promotes the transport of only the desired charged species, the nanocrystals, toward the field-emanating electrodes where the materials eventually deposit. This approach allows for substantial control over the thickness, roughness, and packing of the nanocrystals, an attractive characteristic for the possible implementation of nanocrystalline films into next generation device applications. This chapter reviews recent progress in non-polar solvent electrophoretic deposition, including the production of freestanding films of nanocrystals that were assembled by EPD.
