Abstract

Ionic liquids are room-temperature molten salts, composed of organic mostly of organic ions that may undergo almost unlimited structural variation. We approach the new aspects of ionic liquids in applications where the semiconductor nanoparticles used as sensitizers of solar cells. We studied the effects of ionic liquids as capping ligand and/or solvent, on the morphology and phase of the CdSe/ZnS nanoparticles. Colloidal CdSe/ZnS nanoparticles were synthesized using a series of imidazolium ionic liquids; 1-R-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ([RMIM][TFSI]), where R = ethyl ([EMIM]), butyl ([BMIM]), hexyl ([HMIM]), octyl ([OMIM]). The average size of nanoparticles was 8~9 nm, and both zinc-blende and wurtzite phase was produced. We also synthesized the nanoparticles using a mixture of trihexyltetradecylphosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([$P_{6,6,6,14}$][TFSI]) and octadecene (ODE). The CdSe/ZnS nanoparticles have a smaller size (5.5 nm) than that synthesized using imidazolium, and with a controlled phase from zinc-blende to wurtzite by increasing the volume ratio of [$P_{6,6,6,14}$][TFSI]. For the first time, the phase and size control of the CdSe/ZnS nanoparticles was successfully demonstrated using those ionic liquids.

이온성 액체는 일정한 온도 범위에서 액체로 존재하는 이온성 염으로, 유기 양이온과 유기 또는 무기 음이온의 이온결합으로 이루어져 있다. 본 연구에서는 이온성 액체를 CdSe/ZnS 반도체 나노입자 합성의 리간드 및 용매로 사용하여 이들이 나노입자의 형태와 결정 구조에 미치는 영향에 대해서 연구하였다. CdSe/ZnS 나노입자는 용매로 알킬기의 길이가 다른 imidazolium 계열; 1-R-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([RMIM][TFSI]), R = ethyl ([EMIM]), butyl ([BMIM]), hexyl ([HMIM]), octyl ([OMIM]), 을 사용하여, 평균 크기는 약 8~9 nm 이고 두 상 zinc-blende 및 wurtzite 혼합물로 합성하는 것을 성공하였다. 또한, CdSe/ZnS 나노입자는 trihexyltetradecylphosphonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([$P_{6,6,6,14}$][TFSI]) 이온성 액체와 octadecene (ODE)의 혼합 용액을 사용하여 합성하였다. [$P_{6,6,6,14}$][TFSI]의 부피비가 증가함에 따라 나노입자의 결정 구조가 zinc-blende 구조에서 wurtzite 구조로 조절되었다. 또한 나노입자의 평균 크기는 약 5.5 nm 로써 [RMIM][TFSI] 를 사용했을 때 보다 더 작게 합성되었다. 이처럼 이온성 액체에 의해서 나노입자의 크기뿐 만 아니라 결정 구조도 조절할 수 있음을 처음으로 증명하였다.
