研究目的
To develop a synthesis protocol for 2.5 monolayers (ML) thick CdSe nanosheets as a single population and to study their optical properties, including circular dichroism induced by ligand exchange.
研究成果
The developed synthesis protocol allows for the production of pure 2.5 ML CdSe nanosheets with high structural and morphological perfection. Ligand exchange with chiral N-acetyl-L- or D-cysteine induces strong circular dichroism, making these nanosheets promising for polarization-enabled applications. The study enriches the synthesis methods of CdSe nanoplatelet populations.
研究不足
The study focuses on the thinnest 2.5 ML CdSe nanosheets and their optical properties post ligand exchange. The synthesis conditions are specific and may not be directly applicable to other materials or thicker nanosheets.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
A two-step synthesis protocol was developed for the growth of 2.5 ML thick CdSe nanosheets in the presence of water. Seeded-growth technique was used to extend the lateral size of nanosheets up to 400 nm. Ligand exchange was performed with achiral thioglycolic acid and chiral N-acetyl-L- or D-cysteine.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
Cadmium acetate dihydrate and selenium powder were used as precursors. The reaction mixture was heated under argon flow, and trioctylphosphine selenide was used as a selenium source.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), STEM-HAADF, HRTEM, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
The synthesis involved heating the reaction mixture to a specific temperature, injecting selenium precursor, and allowing the reaction to proceed for a set time. Ligand exchange was carried out in organic solvents.
5:Data Analysis Methods
TEM, STEM-HAADF, and HRTEM for morphology and crystal structure analysis. XRD for crystal structure confirmation. FTIR for ligand analysis. Optical measurements for absorbance, photoluminescence, and circular dichroism.
