Embodiments relate to methods of metal oxide nanocrystals preparation. In embodiments, a metal-organic precursor may be economically synthesized by reacting a metal with an organic acid. The organic acid may include an aliphatic chain longer than three carbon atoms. The metal may be In, Sn, Al, Ga, Zn, Cd, Sb, Bi, Ge, Mn, Ti, Nb, V, Cr, Mo, Fe, Y, Mg, Co, as well as mixtures thereof. Further processing of the metal-organic precursor (e.g. by pyrolysis, hydrolysis, or alcoholysis) produces metal oxide nanocrystals of desired characteristics. An metal-organic precursor of indium tin oxide (ITO) may be synthesized by reacting indium metal and tin metal with an organic acid having an aliphatic chain longer than three carbon atoms (e.g. stearic acid) at a temperature above 200° C. Further processing of the resulting metal-organic precursor yields ITO nanocrystals of regular shape, uniform size, and average diameter ranging of between about 1-500 nm.
本实施例涉及金属氧化物纳米晶体制备方法。在实施例中,可以通过将金属与有机酸反应来经济地合成金属有机前体。有机酸可以包括长于三个碳原子的脂肪链。金属可以是In,Sn,Al,Ga,Zn,Cd,Sb,Bi,Ge,Mn,Ti,Nb,V,Cr,Mo,Fe,Y,Mg,Co以及它们的混合物。通过进一步处理金属有机前体(例如通过热解、水解或醇解),可产生所需特性的金属氧化物纳米晶体。可以通过在高于200°C的温度下使用具有长于三个碳原子的脂肪链的有机酸(例如硬脂酸)将铟金属和锡金属反应来合成铟锡氧化物(ITO)的金属有机前体。进一步处理所得的金属有机前体可以得到形状规则、尺寸均匀、平均直径在1-500纳米之间的ITO纳米晶体。
