Rapid Synthesis of Chalcogenide Nanoparticles
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.
