Article Description

High-quality CuSe nanoplates were synthesized in a large scale through microwave-enhanced reaction between selenium and copper(I) oleate. The nanoplates are approximately round with thickness of 17 nm and the diameter in the range of 700-1000 nm. The distinct shape of the nanoplates provides an ideal site for combining functional units, and as an example, carboxyl-terminated CdTe quantum dots were adsorbed onto CuSe nanoplates to form CuSe - CdTe nanocluster by the chemical linkage of carboxyl to Cu. The fabricated nanoclusters exhibit an enhanced photovoltaic property (i.e., large photocurrent and short response time). Furthermore, this work provides a rational method to the design and fabrication of quantum dots decorated semiconductor nanocomposites. © 2007 American Chemical Society.
