High-quality Cu3Se2 nanoplates were synthesized in a large scale through microwave-enhanced reaction betweenselenium and copper(I) oleate. The nanoplates are approximately round with thickness of 17 nm and thediameter in the range of 700~1000 nm. The distinct shape of the nanoplates provides an ideal site for combiningfunctional units, and as an example, carboxyl-terminated CdTe quantum dots were adsorbed onto Cu3Se2nanoplates to form Cu3Se2-CdTe nanocluster by the chemical linkage of carboxyl to Cu. The fabricatednanoclusters exhibit an enhanced photovoltaic property (i.e., large photocurrent and short response time).Furthermore, this work provides a rational method to the design and fabrication of quantum dots decoratedsemiconductor nanocomposites.
