“…The synthesis of metal sulfide nanocrystals has attracted much interest for both fundamental research and technological applications in the past decades [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. Metal sulfide nanocrystals have been prepared by a wide range of synthetic methods, one of which involves the direct decomposition of molecular precursors [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Molecular precursor approach has recently been developed as an efficient route to prepare monodispersed semiconductor nanocrystals [ 7 , 10 , 15 ] and, in some cases, unique shape-control has been achieved [ 9 , 11 , 16 ].…”
