Synthesis and Optical Properties of In₂S₃-Hosted Colloidal Zn-Cu-In-S Nanoplatelets.

ABSTRACT: High-efficiency photoluminescence quaternary hexagon Zn-Cu-In-S (ZCIS) nanoplatelets (NPls) have been synthesized by a two-step cation exchange method, which starts with the In₂S₃ NPls followed by the addition of Cu and Zn. It is the first time that In₂S₃ NPls are used as templates to synthesize ZCIS NPls. In this paper, the reaction temperature of In₂S₃ is essential for the formation of NPls. The photoluminescence wavelength of NPls can be tuned by adjusting the temperature of Cu addition. To enhance the stability of the resulting NPls and to improve their optical properties, we introduced Zn²⁺ and obtained ZCIS NPls by cation exchange on the surface. It is worth noting that the obtained ZCIS NPls show a shorter fluorescence lifetime than other ternary copper sulfide-based NPls. This work provides a new way to synthesize high-efficiency, nontoxic, and no byproduct ZCIS NPls.

Project description:Structurally defined metal nanoclusters facilitate mechanism studies and promote functional applications. However, precisely constructing copper nanoclusters remains a long-standing challenge in nanoscience. Developing new efficient synthetic strategies for Cu nanoclusters is highly desirable. Here, we propose a solvent-mediated precipitating synthesis (SMPS) to prepare Cu13H10(SR)3(PPh3)7 nanoclusters (H-SR = 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzenethiol). The obtained Cu13 nanoclusters are high purity and high yield (39.5%, based on Cu atom), proving the superiority of the SMPS method. The Cu13 nanoclusters were comprehensively studied via a series of characterizations. Single crystal X-ray crystallography shows that the Cu13 nanoclusters contain a threefold symmetry axis and the Cu13 kernel is protected by a monolayer of ligands, including PPh3 and thiolates. Unprecedentedly, the aesthetic Cu13 kernel is composed of four vertex-sharing tetrahedrons, rather than the common icosahedral or cuboctahedral M13. The intramolecular π⋯π interactions between thiolates and PPh3 on the surface contribute to the stable configuration. Furthermore, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) revealed the existence of ten hydrides, including four types of hydrides. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations without simplifying the ligands simulated the location of the 10 hydrides in the crystal structure. Additionally, the steady-state ultraviolet-visible absorption and fluorescence spectra of the Cu13 nanoclusters exhibit unique optical absorbance and photoluminescence. The ultrafast relaxation dynamics were also studied via transient absorption spectroscopy, and the three decay components are attributed to the relaxation pathways of internal conversion, structural relaxation and radiative relaxation. This work provides not only a novel SMPS strategy to efficiently synthesize Cu13 nanoclusters, but also a better insight into the structural characteristics and optical properties of the Cu nanoclusters.
