Pressure-Induced Multidimensional Assembly and Sintering of CuInS2 Nanoparticles into Lamellar Nanosheets with Band Gap Narrowing
Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have fascinating structural, electrical, and optical properties, especially strong excitonic effects due to decreased dielectric screening. However, constructing 2D ultrathin nanomaterials, with the exception of layered materials, remains a challenge. In this work, we successfully realize oriented attachment on guiding one-dimensional chalcopyrite CuInS2 nanocrystal (NC) formation and 2D assembly into lamellar nanosheets by applying pressure-driven sintering of zero-dimensional CuInS2 nanoparticles (NPs). We discuss the atomic-level mechanism of such phenomena and illustrate a pressure-driven processing diagram that reveals the sintering process of NPs coordinated by pressure and structural transformation. Optical measurements exhibit that the band gap has a narrowing by 0.21 eV compared with the initial 2.03 eV upon decompression to ambient conditions. Our findings represent a significant step forward in gaining an in-depth understanding of the pressure-driven morphology engineering of nanomaterials and provide a promising strategy to prepare 2D NCs, thereby greatly increasing the choice of materials for various applications.
