AgBiS nanocrystals are emerging optoelectronic materials due to their solution-processability, earth abundance and non-toxic properties. We report a facile method to prepare AgBiS nanocrystals in ambient conditions. The nanocrystals are of high crystallinity and without byproducts, which make them suitable for solution processable optoelectronic devices. They were incorporated into graphene transistors for their near infrared detection application. Photodetectors with a high photo-responsivity of 10 A W for 895 nm wavelength at a low operation voltage of 0.1 V were demonstrated.

Silver bismuth sulfide nanocrystals (AgBiS NCs) embody a pioneering heavy-metal-free photovoltaic material renowned for its ultrahigh absorption coefficient, offering promising opportunities for advancing the field of ultra-thin and biocompatible solar cells. Currently, the fabrication of AgBiS NC photovoltaic devices relies on hot-injection synthesis and subsequent tedious ligand exchange, leading to high production cost, complex processes and environmental pollution. Here, we developed a direct-synthesis (DS) method without ligand-exchange for AgBiS NC semiconductive inks, significantly simplifying the material preparation and device fabrication processes.

AgBiS quantum dots (ABS QDs) have emerged as highly promising candidates for photovoltaic applications due to their strong sunlight absorption, nontoxicity, and elemental availability. Nevertheless, the efficiencies of ABS solar cells currently fall far short of their thermodynamic limits due in large part to sluggish charge transport characteristics in nanocrystal-derived films. In this study, we overcome this limitation by tuning the surfaces of ABS semiconductor QDs via a solvent-induced ligand exchange (SILE) strategy and provide key insights into the role of surface composition on both - and -type charge transfer doping, as well as long-range charge transport.
