A process that allowed the synthesis of effectively monodisperse silver gallium sulfide nanoparticles (AGS) was developed in an air free, high temperature procedure. This procedure included an injection at reaction temperature in order to nucleate crystal growth. The particles were uniform and could be grown over a range of sizes. Additionally, the ligand system has been optimized for both growth and photoluminescence. The particles were isolated at room temperature and cleaned through centrifugation. Following cleaning, the AGS was characterized with UV-Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence analysis and TEM.
