“…Lefrançois et al demonstrated the replacement of bulky DDT ligands with 1,2-ethylhexanethiol led to enhanced charge transfer between the organic and inorganic semiconductors in a P3HT/PCBM/CIS NCs blend . In a separate work, Yue et al demonstrated that amine ligands could be removed using hexanoic acid, which strongly enhanced the performance of MEH-PPV-CIS/TiO 2 devices and resulted in PCEs of up to 2.02% . Furthermore, Krause et al demonstrated that the treatment of the CIS NCs with acetic acid (after the formation of the heterojunction) led to an improvement in the PCE in P3HT-CIS nanocomposites …”

This review captures the synthesis, assembly, properties, and applications of copper chalcogenide NCs, which have achieved significant research interest in the last decade due to their compositional and structural versatility. The outstanding functional properties of these materials stems from the relationship between their band structure and defect concentration, including charge carrier concentration and electronic conductivity character, which consequently affects their optoelectronic, optical, and plasmonic properties. This, combined with several metastable crystal phases and stoichiometries and the low energy of formation of defects, makes the reproducible synthesis of these materials, with tunable parameters, remarkable. Further to this, the review captures the progress of the hierarchical assembly of these NCs, which bridges the link between their discrete and collective properties. Their ubiquitous application set has cross-cut energy conversion (photovoltaics, photocatalysis, thermoelectrics), energy storage (lithium-ion batteries, hydrogen generation), emissive materials (plasmonics, LEDs, biolabelling), sensors (electrochemical, biochemical), biomedical devices (magnetic resonance imaging, X-ray computer tomography), and medical therapies (photochemothermal therapies, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and drug delivery). The confluence of advances in the synthesis, assembly, and application of these NCs in the past decade has the potential to significantly impact society, both economically and environmentally.
