Control over the doping density in copper sulfide nanocrystals is of great
importance and determines its use in optoelectronic applications such as NIR
optical switches and photovoltaic devices. Here, we demonstrate that we can
reversibly control the hole carrier density (varying from >10(22) cm(-3) to
intrinsic) in copper sulfide nanocrystals by electrochemical methods. We can
control the type of charge injection, i.e., capacitive charging or ion
intercalation, via the choice of the charge compensating cation (e.g., ammonium
salts vs Li(+)). Further, the type of intercalating ion determines whether the
charge injection is fully reversible (for Li(+)) or leads to permanent changes in
doping density (for Cu(+)). Using fully reversible lithium intercalation allows
us to switch between thin films of covellite CuS NCs (E(g) = 2.0 eV, hole density
10(22) cm(-3), strong localized surface plasmon resonance) and low-chalcocite
CuLiS NCs (E(g) = 1.2 eV, intrinsic, no localized surface plasmon resonance), and
back. Electrochemical Cu(+) ion intercalation leads to a permanent phase
transition to intrinsic low-chalcocite Cu(2)S nanocrystals that display air
stable fluorescence, centered around 1050 nm (fwhm ?145 meV, PLQY ca. 1.8%),
which is the first observation of narrow near-infrared fluorescence for copper
sulfide nanocrystals. The dynamic control over the hole doping density and
fluorescence of copper sulfide nanocrystals presented in this work and the
ability to switch between plasmonic and fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals
might lead to their successful implementation into photovoltaic devices, NIR
optical switches and smart windows.
