Abstract
Morphology plays a crucial role in determining the chemical and optical properties of nanomaterials due to confinement effects. We report the morphology transition of colloidal molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanostructures, synthesized by a one-pot heat-up method, from a mix of quantum dots (QDs) and nanosheets to predominantly nanorods by varying the synthesis reaction temperature from 90 to 160 °C. The stoichiometry and composition of the synthesized QDs, nanosheets, and nanorods were quantified to be MoS2 using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses. A nanostructure morphology transition due to variation in the reaction temperature resulted in a photoluminescence quantum yield enhancement from 0 to 4.4 on increasing the temperature from 90 to 120 °C. On further increase in the temperature to 160 °C, a decrease in the quantum yield to 3.06 is observed. Red-shifts of �18 and �140 nm in the emission maxima and absorption edge, respectively, are observed for the synthesized nanostructures with an increase in the reaction temperature from 90 to 160 °C. The change in the quantum yield is attributed to the change in shape and hence confinement of charge carriers. To the best of our knowledge, microscopic analysis of variation in shape and optical properties of colloidal MoS2 nanostructures with temperature, explained by a nonclassical growth mechanism is presented here for the first time. © 2023 The Authors.
