Calcination does not remove all carbon from colloidal nanocrystal assemblies

Calcination does not remove all carbon from colloidal nanocrystal assemblies

Synthesis of all-inorganic nanomaterials often relies on organic templates, which are assumed to then be fully removed by calcination. Here, the authors use elastic backscattering spectroscopy to challenge this assumption, finding that calcination leaves behind considerable carbon content that can s...
