  text: 'High-performance semiconductors rely upon precise control of heat and charge
    transport. This can be achieved by precisely engineering defects in polycrystalline
    solids. There are multiple approaches to preparing such polycrystalline semiconductors,
    and the transformation of solution-processed colloidal nanoparticles is appealing
    because colloidal nanoparticles combine low cost with structural and compositional
    tunability along with rich surface chemistry. However, the multiple processes
    from nanoparticle synthesis to the final bulk nanocomposites are very complex.
    They involve nanoparticle purification, post-synthetic modifications, and finally
    consolidation (thermal treatments and densification). All these properties dictate
    the final material’s composition and microstructure, ultimately affecting its
    functional properties. This thesis explores the synthesis, surface chemistry and
    consolidation of colloidal semiconductor nanoparticles into dense solids. In particular,
    the transformations that take place during these processes, and their effect on
    the material’s transport properties are evaluated. '

  text: SnSe has emerged as one of the most promising materials for thermoelectric
    energy conversion due to its extraordinary performance in its single-crystal form
    and its low-cost constituent elements. However, to achieve an economic impact,
    the polycrystalline counterpart needs to replicate the performance of the single
    crystal. Herein, we optimize the thermoelectric performance of polycrystalline
    SnSe produced by consolidating solution-processed and surface-engineered SnSe
    particles. In particular, the SnSe particles are coated with CdSe molecular complexes
    that crystallize during the sintering process, forming CdSe nanoparticles. The
    presence of CdSe nanoparticles inhibits SnSe grain growth during the consolidation
    step due to Zener pinning, yielding a material with a high density of grain boundaries.
    Moreover, the resulting SnSe–CdSe nanocomposites present a large number of defects
    at different length scales, which significantly reduce the thermal conductivity.
    The produced SnSe–CdSe nanocomposites exhibit thermoelectric figures of merit
    up to 2.2 at 786 K, which is among the highest reported for solution-processed
    SnSe.

  text: Thermoelectric technology requires synthesizing complex materials where not
    only the crystal structure but also other structural features such as defects,
    grain size and orientation, and interfaces must be controlled. To date, conventional
    solid-state techniques are unable to provide this level of control. Herein, we
    present a synthetic approach in which dense inorganic thermoelectric materials
    are produced by the consolidation of well-defined nanoparticle powders. The idea
    is that controlling the characteristics of the powder allows the chemical transformations
    that take place during consolidation to be guided, ultimately yielding inorganic
    solids with targeted features. Different from conventional methods, syntheses
    in solution can produce particles with unprecedented control over their size,
    shape, crystal structure, composition, and surface chemistry. However, to date,
    most works have focused only on the low-cost benefits of this strategy. In this
    perspective, we first cover the opportunities that solution processing of the
    powder offers, emphasizing the potential structural features that can be controlled
    by precisely engineering the inorganic core of the particle, the surface, and
    the organization of the particles before consolidation. We then discuss the challenges
    of this synthetic approach and more practical matters related to solution processing.
    Finally, we suggest some good practices for adequate knowledge transfer and improving
    reproducibility among different laboratories.

  text: Ligands are a fundamental part of nanocrystals. They control and direct nanocrystal
    syntheses and provide colloidal stability. Bound ligands also affect the nanocrystals’
    chemical reactivity and electronic structure. Surface chemistry is thus crucial
    to understand nanocrystal properties and functionality. Here, we investigate the
    synthesis of metal oxide nanocrystals (CeO2-x, ZnO, and NiO) from metal nitrate
    precursors, in the presence of oleylamine ligands. Surprisingly, the nanocrystals
    are capped exclusively with a fatty acid instead of oleylamine. Analysis of the
    reaction mixtures with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed several
    reaction byproducts and intermediates that are common to the decomposition of
    Ce, Zn, Ni, and Zr nitrate precursors. Our evidence supports the oxidation of
    alkylamine and formation of a carboxylic acid, thus unraveling this counterintuitive
    surface chemistry.

  text: Cesium lead halides have intrinsically unstable crystal lattices and easily
    transform within perovskite and nonperovskite structures. In this work, we explore
    the conversion of the perovskite CsPbBr3 into Cs4PbBr6 in the presence of PbS
    at 450 °C to produce doped nanocrystal-based composites with embedded Cs4PbBr6
    nanoprecipitates. We show that PbBr2 is extracted from CsPbBr3 and diffuses into
    the PbS lattice with a consequent increase in the concentration of free charge
    carriers. This new doping strategy enables the adjustment of the density of charge
    carriers between 1019 and 1020 cm–3, and it may serve as a general strategy for
    doping other nanocrystal-based semiconductors.

  text: Solution synthesis of particles emerged as an alternative to prepare thermoelectric
    materials with less demanding processing conditions than conventional solid-state
    synthetic methods. However, solution synthesis generally involves the presence
    of additional molecules or ions belonging to the precursors or added to enable
    solubility and/or regulate nucleation and growth. These molecules or ions can
    end up in the particles as surface adsorbates and interfere in the material properties.
    This work demonstrates that ionic adsorbates, in particular Na⁺ ions, are electrostatically
    adsorbed in SnSe particles synthesized in water and play a crucial role not only
    in directing the material nano/microstructure but also in determining the transport
    properties of the consolidated material. In dense pellets prepared by sintering
    SnSe particles, Na remains within the crystal lattice as dopant, in dislocations,
    precipitates, and forming grain boundary complexions. These results highlight
    the importance of considering all the possible unintentional impurities to establish
    proper structure-property relationships and control material properties in solution-processed
    thermoelectric materials.
