Abstract

We report a rapid one-pot synthesis of mesoscale 2D AgTePh quantum-well crystals through a mild heating of a 1D nanowire intermediate. We contrast disordered aggregation (broadband NIR–SWIR emission) with directed coalescence (visible emission), revealing synthetic control over dimensionality and photophysics in organic-inorganic silver phenyltellurolate semiconductors.

Supporting Information
Description
Supporting Information includes detailed experimental methods, characterization data, and supplementary figures supporting the main manuscript. Specifically, it provides full synthesis procedures, SEM and EDS analyses, powder X-ray diffraction patterns, UV–visible absorption and diffuse reflectance spectra, steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements, Raman spectra with peak assignments compared to AgSePh (mithrene), and photoconductivity measurements of 2D AgTePh crystals. Additional kinetic analysis, fitting parameters, and methodological details for spectroscopic setups are included to ensure reproducibility and provide expanded context for the photophysical and structural observations discussed in the main text.
