Rapid Synthesis of Chalcogenide Nanoparticles
- Summary
- The precursors that can be used in such processes may include various metal halides, elemental metals, elemental chalcogen, as well as chalcogen compounds. This new process is a low cost alternative that still maintains a high throughput synthesis of crystalline chalcogenide nanoparticles while providing a simpler method of production and integration than current technologies. Applications for this technology include thin-film solar panel devices.
