N2 - Cadmium telluride nanocrystals were synthesized to form distinct shapes, notably tetrapods and nanorods. Herein, the synthesis of the nanoparticles is described, with emphasis on the different mechanisms for the two shapes. Additionally, the nanoparticles were characterized by customary techniques (i.e., UV-Vis absorption/emission and TEM), as well as with their behavior at the air/water interface formed via Langmuir isotherms. AFM was utilized to scrutinize the nanoparticle packing on the monolayer depositions obtained. Finally, the potential applications of the nanoparticles were investigated for use in photovoltaic cells.
