Article Description

Nanoparticle (NP) self-assemblies have attracted an increasing amount of attention in recent years because of their potential application in the construction of novel nanodevices. The controllable transformation of NP self-assemblies (NPS) between a polar and nonpolar environment is required for many specific applications because of their different properties in different environments. In this article, water-soluble luminescent CdS/CdTe NPS were synthesized using thioglycolic acid as a capping agent. The stiff and straight NPS bundles became loose after phase transfer from an aqueous to an organic phase. Subsequently, the NPS transferred to the aqueous phase. The loose structure transformed into many twisted nanoribbons. Additionally, hybrid photodetectors made using the organic-soluble NPS and P3HT polymers were fabricated, and we found that the NPS/P3HT blend may be perfect for light detection. The organic-soluble NPS are potentially useful for the fabrication of semiconductor nanojunctions. © 2013 American Chemical Society.
