A General One-Pot Approach to Synthesize Binary and Ternary Metal Sulfide Nanocrystals.

ABSTRACT: A general one-pot approach is developed to synthesize a series of binary metal sulfide nanocrystals (NCs) including PbS, Cu₂S, ZnS, CdS, Ag₂S, and ternary CuInS₂ and CdS:Cu(I) NCs. This synthetic approach involves thermal decomposition of the mixture of inorganic metal salts and n-dodecanethiol (DDT) without pre-synthesis of any organometallic precursors. In this method, layered metal-thiolate compound is formed at the beginning of the reaction and then this intermediate compound is decomposed into small particles, leading to further growth as the reaction time increases. The as-obtained CdS NCs exhibits a broad but weak surface-state emission, and the Cu(I) doping leads to a red-shift of the emission band due to the Cu(I)-related emission. It is expected that this one-pot approach can be extended to prepare multinary metal sulfide NCs.

Scalable and Universal Route for the Deposition of Binary, Ternary, and Quaternary Metal Sulfide Materials from Molecular Precursors.

Project description:A range of binary, ternary (CFS), and quaternary (CZTS) metal sulfide materials have been successfully deposited onto the glass substrates by air-spray deposition of metal diethyldithiocarbamate molecular precursors followed by pyrolysis (18 examples). The as-deposited materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (p-XRD), Raman spectroscopy, secondary electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, which in all cases showed that the materials were polycrystalline with the expected elemental stoichiometry. In the case of the higher sulfides, EDX spectroscopy mapping demonstrated the spatial homogeneity of the elemental distributions at the microscale. By using this simple and inexpensive method, we could potentially fabricate thin films of any given main group or transition metal chalcogenide material over large areas, theoretically on substrates with complex topologies.

Subsuming the Metal Seed to Transform Binary Metal Chalcogenide Nanocrystals into Multinary Compositions.

Project description:Direct colloidal synthesis of multinary metal chalcogenide nanocrystals typically develops dynamically from the binary metal chalcogenide nanocrystals with the subsequent incorporation of additional metal cations from solution during the growth process. Metal seeding of binary and multinary chalcogenides is also established, although the seed is solely a catalyst for nanocrystal nucleation and the metal from the seed has never been exploited as active alloying nuclei. Here we form colloidal Cu-Bi-Zn-S nanorods (NRs) from Bi-seeded Cu2-xS heterostructures. The evolution of these homogeneously alloyed NRs is driven by the dissolution of the Bi-rich seed and recrystallization of the Cu-rich stem into a transitional segment, followed by the incorporation of Zn2+ to form the quaternary Cu-Bi-Zn-S composition. The present study also reveals that the variation of Zn concentration in the NRs modulates the aspect ratio and affects the nature of the majority charge carriers. The NRs exhibit promising thermoelectric properties with very low thermal conductivity values of 0.45 and 0.65 W/mK at 775 and 605 K, respectively, for Zn-poor and Zn-rich NRs. This study highlights the potential of metal seed alloying as a direct growth route to achieving homogeneously alloyed NRs compositions that are not possible by conventional direct methods or by postsynthetic transformations.

One-sample approach to determine the relative orientations of proteins in ternary and binary complexes from residual dipolar coupling measurements.

Project description:We present a procedure that supports the acquisition of (1)H-(15)N residual dipolar coupling (RDC) values for individual subunits in binary or ternary protein assemblies from a single experimental sample. Our method relies on asymmetric labeling of each subunit with the following scheme: species A uniformly with (15)N, species B uniformly with (15)N and (13)C, and species C uniformly with (15)N but selectively with (13)C' or (13)C(alpha). Because only a single sample is required, the approach obviates the need for preparing multiple samples and eliminates potential errors introduced from differences in sample conditions. Because numerous biological processes rely on protein assemblies or transient interactions, this method should be well suited for a wide range of future applications.

Nb(1.30)Cr(0.70)S(5): a layered ternary mixed-metal sulfide.

Project description:The new layered ternary sulfide, Nb(1.30)Cr(0.70)S(5), niobium chromium penta-sulfide, is isostructural with the solid solution Nb(1+x)V(1-x)S(5) and belongs to the FeNb(3)Se(10) structure type. Each layer is composed of two unique chains of face-sharing [NbS(8)] bicapped trigonal prisms (m symmetry) and edge-sharing [MS(6)] (M= Nb, Cr) octa-hedra (m symmetry). One of the two metal sites is occupied by statistically disordered Nb and Cr atoms, with 0.3 and 0.7 occupancy, respectively. The chains are connected along the c axis, forming two-dimensional layers, which then stack on top of each other to complete the three dimensional structure. As a result, an undulating van der Waals gap is found between the layers.

Converting bimetallic M (M = Ni, Co, or Fe)-Sn nanoparticles into phosphides: a general strategy for the synthesis of ternary metal phosphide nanocrystals.

Project description:Ternary metal tin phosphides are promising candidates for electrochemical or catalytic applications. Nevertheless, their synthesis, neither as bulk nor nanomaterials is well investigated in the literature. Here, we describe a general synthetic strategy to convert bimetallic M-Sn (M = Ni, Co, and Fe) nanoparticles to ternary metal phosphides by decomposition of tributylphosphine at 300 °C. At high phosphorus concentrations, Ni3Sn4 nanoparticles convert to hybrid structured Ni2SnP and β-Sn. The CoSn2 and FeSn2 nanoparticles undergo a phosphorization, too and form hybrid nanocrystals reported here for the first time, containing ternary or binary phosphides. We identified the crystal structure of the nanoparticles via XRD and HRTEM measurements using the diffraction data given for Ni2SnP in literature. We were able to locate the Ni2SnP and β-Sn crystal structure within the nanoparticles to demonstrate the phase composition of the nanoparticles. By transferring the synthesis to cobalt and iron, we obtained nanoparticles exhibiting similar hybrid structures and ternary element compositions for Co-Sn-P and binary Fe-P and FeSn2 compositions. In the last step, we used the given information to propose a conversion mechanism from the binary M-Sn nanoparticles through phosphorization.

This method is efficient for both electron-rich and -deficient styrenes and exhibits good functional group tolerance, as well as excellent regioselectivity. The forming dihydrobenzosiloles can be efficiently converted into valuable benzosiloles or 2-hydroxyphenethyl alcohols.

Copper-Promoted One-Pot Approach: Synthesis of Benzimidazoles.

Project description:A facile, one-pot, and proficient method was developed for the production of various 2-arylaminobenzimidazoles. This methodology is based for the first time on a copper catalyst promoted domino C-N cross-coupling reaction for the generation of 2-arylaminobenzimidazoles. Mechanistic investigations revealed that the synthetic pathway involves a copper-based desulphurization/nucleophilic substitution and a subsequent domino intra and intermolecular C-N cross-coupling reactions. Some of the issues typically encountered during the synthesis of 2-arylaminobezimidazoles, including the use of expensive catalytic systems and the low reactivity of bromo precursors, were addressed using this newly developed copper-catalyzed method. The reaction procedure is simple, generally with excellent substrate tolerance, and provides good to high yields of the desired products.

One-pot protocol for bimetallic Pt/Cu hexapod concave nanocrystals with enhanced electrocatalytic activity.

Project description:Nanomaterials with particular nanostructures which usually possess special properties always attract considerable attention. A novel bimetallic Pt/Cu hexapod nanostructure was prepared by a facile one-pot strategy. The formation mechanism was investigated by the time sequential evolution experiments and the hexapod concave nanostructures originated from the Pt/Cu rhombic dodecahedron. Further electrochemical measurements indicated the bimetallic Pt/Cu hexapod concave nanocrystals showed enhanced catalytic activities. It is believed that these novel nanostuctures would open up new opportunities for catalytic applications.
