Abstract:
1. A method of producing light-emissive nitride nanoparticles, the method comprising: (a) heating a reaction mixture consisting essentially of nanoparticle precursors in a solvent, the nanoparticle precursors including at least one metal-containing precursor and at least one first nitrogen-containing precursor, and maintaining the reaction mixture at a temperature of at least 200° C.; and (b) adding an addition to the reaction mixture, the addition consisting essentially of one or more second nitrogen-containing precursors to thereby promote nanoparticle growth, whereby the nanoparticle is grown from reacting together the at least one metal-containing precursor, the at least one first nitrogen-containing precursor, and the at least one second nitrogen-containing precursor.
