Abstract
This review is focused on the recent developments of the synthesis, mechanism and applications of IV–VI semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs), including germanium-, tin- and lead-based chalcogenides NCs. First of all, we systematically introduce a series of investigations on the preparation with controllable size and shape via a wide variety of methods. Corresponding growth mechanisms are also discussed. Moreover, the promising potential of IV–VI semiconductor NCs as building blocks with respect to energy, sensors and catalysis is highlighted. For the purpose of enhancing the performance to satisfy the practical applications, tailored nanocomposites by combining noble metals or graphene etc. are further developed. Finally, we present some concluding remarks and perspectives for future developments. We hope this article can provide researchers with the key snapshots of the recent advances and the future challenges, thus achieving a great progress in IV–VI semiconductor NCs.
