The nanocrystals were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), atomic force microscope (AFM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy-dispersed spectroscopy (EDS). It is found that ethylene glycol both as reducing agent and dispersant plays a key role in the formation of PbSe nanocrystals.

Some organic materials have some In most cases, 30 min to 3 h are necessary. In our advantages, such as low cost, large processing, which experiment, ethylene glycol was chosen as the solvent. has been researched. However, the solar energy The glycol also worked as reducing agent for the conversion efficiencies of devices including organic preparation of submicrometer particles of the transition materials are very lo
