The present invention provides a new method for the production of inorganic semiconductor nanocrystals having a rod-like shape. More specifically the present invention provides a method of synthesizing rod shaped Group III-V semiconductor nanocrystals. The method comprises: reacting, in a high-boilin g point organic solvent, a two-source precursor solution comprising at least o ne metal source and at least one nonmetal source, or a single-source precursor solution, with a metal catalyst or an agent capable of producing said metal catalyst, said high-boiling point organic solvent having a temperature above 200~C, thereby forming a reaction product comprising semiconductor nanocrystals of various shape; cooling the reaction product, and subsequentl y exposing said cooled reaction product to at least one centrifugal step so as to obtain semiconductor nanocrystals having substantially rod-like shape. Th e rod-shaped nanocrystals obtained by the method of the invention usually have organic ligands as a coating on their outer surfaces. Such organic ligands affect the solubility of the particles and may be substituted or removed, according to the application intended for said particles after the reaction is completed. |
