Optoelectronic properties of metal oxycarbides
PublicColloidal solution chemistry offers a unique opportunity to modulate the nanostructures of 1D and 2D materials from a bottom-up synthesis approach. One such example is the newly discovered quat-derived nanostructures (QDNs), which are synthesized through the use of titanium carbide and tetramethylammonium hydroxide. Creation of nanostructures via a method like this offer more opportunities to control the properties of the final product than etching the 2D materials from a bulk crystal or through sol-gel processing. We show that the QDNs have radically different morphologies and optoelectronic properties by simply varying the reaction temperature and reaction time. In this paper, I will illustrate the properties of QDNs through measurements with UV-Vis, photoluminescence, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to provide insight for the next researcher(s) building off this study.
