“…With regard to the material parameters, very few reports have systematically studied the influence of NC size/shape on the performance of HSCs, despite the fact that these parameters are generally considered to play a key role in HSCs. Yue et al studied the influence of the CIS QD size in the range from 3.2 to 5.4 nm in MEH-PPV/CIS HSCs and observed an increase in the performance with a decrease in the NC size. , The authors noted that the improved result (when decreasing the NC size) was due to a simultaneous increase of both the V oc (associated with an increase of the CIS band gap) and the J sc (associated with an improved charge transfer with the increase of the interfacial area), and to the formation of a more effective interpenetrating network for charge transport.…”

This review captures the synthesis, assembly, properties, and applications of copper chalcogenide NCs, which have achieved significant research interest in the last decade due to their compositional and structural versatility. The outstanding functional properties of these materials stems from the relationship between their band structure and defect concentration, including charge carrier concentration and electronic conductivity character, which consequently affects their optoelectronic, optical, and plasmonic properties. This, combined with several metastable crystal phases and stoichiometries and the low energy of formation of defects, makes the reproducible synthesis of these materials, with tunable parameters, remarkable. Further to this, the review captures the progress of the hierarchical assembly of these NCs, which bridges the link between their discrete and collective properties. Their ubiquitous application set has cross-cut energy conversion (photovoltaics, photocatalysis, thermoelectrics), energy storage (lithium-ion batteries, hydrogen generation), emissive materials (plasmonics, LEDs, biolabelling), sensors (electrochemical, biochemical), biomedical devices (magnetic resonance imaging, X-ray computer tomography), and medical therapies (photochemothermal therapies, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and drug delivery). The confluence of advances in the synthesis, assembly, and application of these NCs in the past decade has the potential to significantly impact society, both economically and environmentally.
