Colloidal synthesis and photocatalytic properties of orthorhombic AgGaS2 nanocrystals

Abstract

AgGaS2 (AGS) nanocrystals that exist in the orthorhombic phase were successfully prepared for the first time through a one-pot colloidal synthetic strategy using suitable coordinating solvents. These orthorhombic AGS nanocrystals were found to display great potential in visible-light-driven photocatalysis.
