General synthesis of I–III–VI2 ternary semiconductor nanocrystals

Abstract
Metastable orthorhombic phase of AgInS2nanocrystals with various shapes, including particles, rods, and worms, have been obtained to demonstrate a facile and effective one-pot chemical route for the synthesis of high quality I–III–VI2 ternary semiconductor nanocrystals (AgInS2, CuInS2, AgInSe2) with controllable shape and size.
