3D Assembly of All-Inorganic Colloidal Nanocrystals into Gels and Aerogels

We report on an efficient assembly approach to a variety of electrostatically stabilized all-inorganic semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) via their linking with appropriate ions into multibranched gel networks. These all-inorganic non-ordered 3D assemblies can combine strong interparticle coupling which facilitates charge transport between the NCs with their diverse morphology, composition, size, and functional capping ligands. Moreover, the resulting dry gels (aerogels) are highly porous monolithic structures, which preserve the quantum confinement of their building blocks. The inorganic semiconductor aerogel made of 4.5 nm CdSe colloidal NCs, capped with iodide ions and bridged with Cd2+ ions, exhibited a surface area as high as 146 m2/g.
