Title: Methods of producing metal sulfides, metal selenides, and metal sulfides/selenides having controlled architectures using kinetic control

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1735228

The present invention is directed to methods of preparing metal sulfide, metal selenide, or metal sulfide/selenide nanoparticles and the products derived therefrom. In various embodiments, the nanoparticles are derived from the reaction between precursor metal salts and certain sulfur- and/or selenium-containing precursors each independently having a structure of Formula (I), (II), or (III), or an isomer, salt, or tautomer thereof, where Q1, Q2, Q3, R1, R2, R3, R5, and X are defined within the specification.
