摘要: Engineering the size, shape and crystallinity of organic semiconductor nanostructures (OSNs) offers opportunity fine tuning their optoelectronic properties for photocatalytic applications. Here, we report a facile general ‘ice-melting’ kinetic control strategy to synthesize OSNs with excellent performance. The ultraslow release interaction molecules from ice melting yields an ultralow local concentration (∼five orders magnitude fewer molecules), fundamentally enhancing energy barrier thus leading relaxed ordered assembly into refined nanocrystals (∼one order smaller in morphological change amorphous crystalline); such display improved light-harvesting charge transfer consequent efficiency towards degrading pollutants compared standard OSNs, or even commercial titania photocatalysts (Degussa P25); also generalize series highly photoactive nanocrystals.
