The invention relates to a template-assisted morphology-structured large-size mercury-based II-VI group
nanocrystal synthesis method, which is realized by the following steps: firstly, dissolving a mercury source precursor in a
solvent of a high-concentration soft template agent to form reversed-phase vesicles, and using the vesicles as containers for
crystal growth; secondly, preparing a high-activity
tellurium precursor solution, and slowly injecting the high-activity
tellurium precursor solution into the vesicles to control
nucleation and growth of crystals; and finally, controlling the
reaction temperature and the dropping rate to ensure that the
crystal stably grows to the size of 50-70nm in the elastic confinement of the soft template, and keeping the
spherical morphology. After the reaction is finished, a polar
solvent is added for demulsification, large-size nanocrystals are separated out through low-speed
centrifugation, and small-particle by-products are removed. The
morphology control bottleneck in large-size
crystal synthesis in the prior art is effectively broken through, the high-quality mercury-based II-VI group
nanocrystal is obtained, and the mercury-based II-VI group
nanocrystal is particularly suitable for integrated application of high-performance devices needing accurate size and
morphology control.
