Cu(1.94)S nanocrystal seed mediated solution-phase growth of unique Cu2S-PbS heteronanostructures.

ABSTRACT

Unique Cu(2)S-PbS heteronanostructures with good photothermal conversion effect have been synthesized for the first time by a Cu(1.94)S nanocrystal seed mediated colloidal solution-phase growth method. The present nanocrystal seed mediated growth method may be extended for the growth of other unique semiconductor heteronanostructures.
