In the past decades, gold nanostructures, such as gold nanorods and nanoshells, have been well studied and applied for sensing, bioimaging, and photothermal generation. However, knowledge of copper chalcogenide, a new generation of plasmonic nanomaterials, is limited, especially about their preparation and size- and shape-dependent photothermal properties. In this work, controllable size and shape Cu2-xS nanocrystals (NCs) are synthesized by a facile aqueous route. Using low-molecularweight polyethylenimine (PEI) as the reducing and capping agents, the size and shape of Cu2-xS NCs can be controlled with lengths from 6.5 to 46.5 nm and the aspect ratio from 2.2 to 7.5 by adjusting the concentration of PEI. The plasmonic peak of Cu2-xS experiences a redshift (from 1145 to 1369 nm) when the length increases from 6.5 to 44.5 nm. Under the irradiation of 1064 nm laser with 1.33 W/cm(2), an excellent photothermal conversion rate (from 34.9 to 49.0% is obtained. The characterization of Cu2-xS NCs is conducted with a UV-vis spectrometer, transmission electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction measurements, and 1064 nm laser. | Publisher: | American Chemical Society | Journal: | ACS omega | ISSN: | 2470-1343 | DOI: | 10.1021/acsomega.9b02204 | Rights: | Copyright © 2019 American Chemical Society This is an open access article published under an ACS AuthorChoice License (https://pubs.acs.org/page/policy/authorchoice_termsofuse.html), which permits copying and redistribution of the article or any adaptations for non-commercial purpose.
