Description
Progna Banerjee leads a 2026 study of how the solvent around tiny semiconductor plates changes whether they stack or float free. The plates, made of cadmium selenide, are flat crystals used in light devices. In toluene they joined into long ribbons, while in a second solvent they stayed well dispersed, the team found using electron imaging and X-ray scattering.
Computer simulations traced the split to the solvent's shape flexibility, which subtly changed the oily coating on each plate and even the plate's twist. Broken-up ribbons also gave strong amplified light emission at low energy input. Solvent choice, often treated as a background detail, can steer how these particles assemble for devices.
