Synthesis of CdSe Nanoplatelets without Short-Chain Ligands: Implication for Their Growth Mechanisms.


ABSTRACT: We present a novel route for the synthesis of zinc blende CdSe nanoplatelets (NPLs) that exclude the use of short-chain alkyl carboxylates. CdSe NPLs obtained without acetates are shown to be extremely asymmetric and rectangular. The effects of several experimental parameters such as the nature of cadmium carboxylates, selenium precursors, and precursor concentration ratios are studied. Our experiments, together with complementary small-/wide-angle X-ray scattering results, show that the formation of NPLs is not related to soft templating. We discuss our findings in regard to several other formation mechanisms of NPLs, which have appeared recently in the literature, and propose that the steric hindrance caused by ligand packing exerts an influence on the growth and geometry of two-dimensional NPLs.
