Abstract

A generalized size selective synthetic protocol for uniform metal (Cd, Zn, Pb, Cu, In) selenide nanoparticles in hydrothermal conditions, using decanoic acid (C10) as a ligand, aqueous metal ammonium/ammonium carbonate complex and sodium hydrogen selenide (NaHSe), is developed. The materials show improvement in size dependent properties and hold promise for various practical applications.
