Metal selenide nanocrystals have attracted attention as promising materials in photovoltaics and thermoelectrics. However, the expensive and labor-intensive synthesis methods utilized for the production of these nanomaterials have impeded their widespread utilization. The need for air-free environment and high synthesis temperature for crystal nucleation and growth lead as the major factors contributing to the cost of synthesis. In this work, we present a synthesis method for metal selenide nanocrystals at room temperature under ambient conditions that is enabled by a cost-effective selenium precursor.
