Key Points

  • This research aims to explore a new method for surface passivation of germanium nanoparticles.
  • Utilized microwave-assisted strategy for sulfur passivation of germanium nanoparticles.
  • Employed TEM, HRTEM, and SAED analyses to confirm the structure of nanoparticles post-modification.
  • Conducted elemental mapping to investigate the spatial distribution of germanium and sulfur.
  • Confirmed Ge-S bond formation with element mapping showing spatial colocalization of Ge and S.
  • Maintained crystalline structure of nanoparticles after the surface modification.
  • Demonstrated scalability of the approach for potential applications in optoelectronics.

Abstract

doublet, indicative of Ge-S bond formation. Elemental mapping shows spatial colocalization of Ge and S, and TEM, HRTEM, and SAED analyses confirm that the NCs' crystalline structure remains intact after surface modification. This scalable approach provides an effective strategy for enhanced surface control of Ge NCs in optoelectronic applications.
