Colloidal 2D semiconductors (nanosheets (NSs) and nanoplatelets (NPLs)) are only a few atom layers thick and strongly quantum-confined in their thickness dimension. This leads to increased exciton binding energies in the structures and optical properties that are wet-chemically tunable from visible to infrared wavelengths. Synthetic fine-tuning of the NS and NPL to control their narrow absorption and efficient emission is highly interesting for photonic and optoelectronic applications.[1,2]

In the first part of my talk, I will touch on our recent results on the synthesis of colloidal 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (WS2 and MoS2). By adjusting the Mo- and W-precursor concentration and reaction times, a control on the formation of the semiconducting vs. the metallic TMDC crystal phase during the reaction is gained and followed by XPS. We applied micro-photoluminescence spectroscopy to study semiconducting WS2 mono- and multilayer photoluminescence comparable to exfoliated WS2 for the first time.[3]

The second part of my talk is dedicated to our results on the direct synthesis of infrared-emitting 2D PbSe NPLs. By synthetically tuning the lateral size of the NPLs through the addition of small amounts of octylamine to the reaction, we obtain efficient emission of the NPLs covering the telecom O-, E- and S-band, respectively.[4] Infrared emitting NPLs are highly interesting for emerging photonic quantum technologies, e.g. single photon emission at technologically relevant wavelengths.
