Aqueous transfer of colloidal metal oxide nanocrystals via base-driven ligand exchange

Abstract

A general method is developed for removal of native nonpolar oleate ligands from colloidal metal oxide nanocrystals of varying morphologies and compositions. Ligand stripping occurs by phase transfer into potassium hydroxide solution, yielding stable aqueous dispersions with little nanocrystal aggregation and without significant changes to the nanomaterials’ physical or chemical properties. This method enables facile fabrication of conductive films of ligand-free nanocrystals.
