“…In our group, the research is focused on functional nanomaterial design based on metal chalcogenides for energy conversion and storage applications. − In our current search for stable and synthesizable multielement inorganic nanostructures (based on alkali metal chalcogenides that exhibit interesting optoelectronic properties), we limit the material composition to ternary systems. Multinary chalcogenides provide unlimited control with which one can influence the composition-dependent parameters (e.g., crystal structure, particle dimensions, and electronic structure) and can simultaneously complicate the search for conceivable materials.…”

The search for novel materials has recently brought research attention to alkali metal-based chalcogenides (ABZ) as a new class of semiconducting inorganic materials. Various theoretical and computational studies have highlighted many compositions of this class as ideal functional materials for application in energy conversion and storage devices. This Perspective discusses the expansive compositional landscape of ABZ compositions that inherently gives a wide spectrum of properties with great potential for application. In the present paper, we examine the technique of synthesizing this particular class of materials and explore their potential for compositional engineering in order to manipulate key functional properties. This study presents the notable findings that have been documented thus far in addition to outlining the potential avenues for implementation and the associated challenges they present. By fulfilling the sustainability requirements of being relativity earth-abundant, environmentally benign, and biocompatible, we anticipate a promising future for alkali metal chalcogenides. Through this Perspective, we aim to inspire continued research on this emerging class of materials, thereby enabling forthcoming breakthroughs in the realms of photovoltaics, thermoelectrics, and energy storage.

Colloidal synthesis of the mixed ionic–electronic conducting NaSbS₂ nanocrystals

Abstract: Mixed ionic-electronic conducting NaSbS2 NCs with different sizes (50 to 90 nm) and shapes (cube, quasi-spherical cuboctahedra and truncated cubes) were synthesized using a colloidal approach by systematically changing the reaction parameters.
