Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of preparing a core-shell nanorod can include growing a shell of a core-shell nanorod (M1X1)M2X2 in a solution through a slow-injection of M2 precursor solution and X2 precursor solution, wherein the core-shell nanorod includes a M1X1 core.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of preparing a core-shell nanorod comprising growing a shell of a core-shell nanorod (M1X1)M2X2 in a solution through a slow-injection of M2 precursor solution and X2 precursor solution to a suspension of M1X1 nanocrystals to form the shell in a first shell growth step, and, after stopping the first shell growth step, further growing the shell of the core-shell nanorod (M1X1)M2X2 in the solution through a slow-injection of M2 precursor solution and X2 precursor solution to a suspension of M1X1 nanocrystals to form a thicker shell in a second shell growth step and, wherein the core-shell nanorod includes a M1X1 core. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the core nanocrystal includes CdSe. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the shell includes CdS. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the solution includes an acid. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the solution includes an amine. 6. The method of claim 1 , further including degassing the solution. 7. The method of claim 1 , further including growing the core-shell nanorod at a temperature of no higher than 310° C. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the slow-injection rate of M2 precursor is less than 0.4 mmol per hour. 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the slow-injection rate of X2 precursor is less than 0.4 mmol per hour. 10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the M2 precursor solution includes 1-octadecene. 11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the X2 precursor solution includes 1-octadecene. 12. The method of claim 1 , wherein concentration of the M2 precursor is between 0.05 M-0.20 M. 13. The method of claim 1 , wherein concentration of the X2 precursor is between 0.07 M-0.30 M.
