摘要
A great variety of high-quality inorganic nanocrystals are synthesized solely in hydrocarbon solvents in both academic and industrial settings on a daily basis,which is largely complicated by lack of simple precursors containing inorganic element(s)yet soluble in the reaction solvents at ambient temperatures.Here,we introduce a new strategy for preparing the precursors,namely inorganic(or element-containing organic)molecules dispersed in hydrocarbon(Vaseline-octadecene)gel.This strategy not only greatly expands spectra of potential precursors and their concentration range,but also simplifies synthetic system,enables automated large-scale synthesis,and minimizes environmental concerns.
