Beschreibung:
  • Cadmium chalcogenide nanoplatelets (NPLs) are not only known due to their unique optical properties but also because of their ability to self-assemble into stacks with new collective properties. Only recently, a stacking process in an aqueous medium has been demonstrated, which opens up possible applications and methods such as gelation. Nanoparticle-based aerogels gain a lot of attention due to their high relative surface areas and porosity and thus, high potential for catalytic applications. Herein, the positive properties of aerogels to the NPL-stack system by cryoaerogelation of destabilized NPL dispersions are introduced. After the addition of an antisolvent to initiate the stacking, the dispersion is flash-frozen with liquid nitrogen and freeze-dried. By this method, porous cryoaerogel networks result in high surface areas and retained stacking of the NPLs. The formed stack-gels are investigated by electron microscopy and physisorption measurements. Optical and photoelectrochemical measurements verify the charge carrier transport within the stack-gel network.
