OVERVIEW

Preparative methods derived from inorganic and organometallic chemistry enable the size-selective synthesis of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals. Their optical properties depend on the material and can be adjusted with the nanocrystal size via quantum confinement. As nanometric light emitters they can be used in biological labeling, as light absorbers and electron conductors in hybrid organic/inorganic solar cells.
