Abstract

This paper describes a co-reduction colloidal method for the synthesis of In-containing III-V nanocrystals (NCs) by using pnictogen halides (such as PCl3, AsCl3, and SbCl3) as the pnictogen-sources and superhydride (LiBH(C2H5)3) as the reducing agent. The syntheses were generally carried out in octadecene in the presence of fatty acids at ∼250 °C. The as-synthesized InP NCs were monodisperse in particle size and size distribution, whereas the InAs and InSb NCs showed relatively lower quality. The growth process of NCs was studied using InP as a model system.
