Colloidal Semiconductor Cadmium Chalcogenide Nanorods and Nanoplatelets: Growth, Optical Anisotropy and Directed Assembly
https://doi.org/10.1007/s11814-024-00321-z
Abstract
Colloidal anisotropic semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs), including nanorods (NRs) and nanoplatelets (NPLs), have garnered
signifi cant attention in nanotechnology due to their unique optical and electronic properties, which arise from their anisotropic
geometries. This review delves into the anisotropic growth mechanisms, optical polarization characteristics, and directed
assembly techniques of cadmium chalcogenide NRs and NPLs. It highlights how the anisotropic growth imparts distinct
electronic and optical behaviors—NRs exhibit remarkable emission polarization infl uenced by aspect ratio and core/shell
structures, while NPLs demonstrate highly directed emission due to quantum and dielectric confi nements in the thickness.
The review also explores state-of-the-art methods for large-scale alignment using organic mediators, emphasizing their
potential to enhance the performance and application of the anisotropic semiconductor NCs in cutting-edge technologies.
