We synthesized the shape-controlled Cu-In sulfide heterostructured nanocrystals from the thermal decomposition of a mixture of Cu-oleate and In-oleate complex in dodecanethiol. By varying the reaction temperature and time, we were able to synthesize Cu-In sulfide nanocrystals with acorn, bottle, and larva shapes. And We report the large-scale synthesis of uniform-sized hexagonal pyramid-shaped ZnO nanocrystals by the thermolysis of Zn-oleate complex, which was prepared from the reaction of inexpensive and environmental-friendly reagents such as zinc chloride and sodium oleate.
