Synthesis of InSb nanocrystals in an air atmosphere and their photocatalytic activity from near-infrared to ultra-violet

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd We report a new facile route to prepare indium antimonide (InSb) nanocrystals (NCs) in air and at ambient pressure. Spherical cubic zinc blende InSb NCs with an average size of 5 nm were synthesized and spontaneously separated through a rapid microwave-assisted one-pot reaction....

Spherical cubic zinc blende InSb NCs with an average size of 5 nm were synthesized and spontaneously separated through a rapid microwave-assisted one-pot reaction. The photocatalytic activity of obtained product was investigated by the decolorization of methyl orange dye under near-IR, visible light, and UV irradiation. This novel synthetic pathway may improve existing applications and suggest new opportunities for studying III-V semiconductor nanomaterials. 2017-09-28T04:06:43Z 2017-09-28T04:06:43Z Journal 13698001 2-s2.0-85020467608 10.1016/j.mssp.2017.06.001 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=85020467608&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/40127
