Colloidal synthetic routes allow for an exquisite control over such “artificial atoms” in terms of size, shape, and crystal phase as well as core and surface compositions. We present here a bottom-up approach to produce Pb–Ag–K–S–Te nanocomposites, which is a highly promising system for thermoelectric energy conversion. First, we developed a high-yield and scalable colloidal synthesis route to uniform lead sulfide (PbS) nanorods, whose tips are made of silver sulfide (Ag2S). We then took advantage of the large surface-to-volume ratio to introduce a p-type dopant (K) by replacing native organic ligands with K2Te. Upon thermal consolidation, K2Te-surface modified PbS–Ag2S nanorods yield p-type doped nanocomposites with PbTe and PbS as major phases and Ag2S and Ag2Te as embedded nanoinclusions. Thermoelectric characterization of such consolidated nanosolids showed a high thermoelectric figure-of-merit of 1 at 620 K."}],"scopus_import":"1","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.9b00346","publication_status":"published","external_id":{"isi":["000473248300043"],"pmid":["31185159"]}},{"publication_status":"published","external_id":{"pmid":[" 9678876"]},"doi":"10.1016/s0142-9612(97)00243-3","abstract":[{"text":"The present investigation confirms that initially implemented procedure to produce poly(methylidene malonate 2.1.2) (PMM 2.1.2) nanoparticles (Lescure et al. Pharm Res 1994;11:1270–77) lead to products mostly containing plasticizing oligomers which strongly lowered glass-transition temperature (Tg), dramatically reduced nanoparticle consistency and rendered them too sensitive to solubilization when diluted in an aqueous medium. From MALDI-TOF spectroscopy analysis, performed on intact colloids, emerged some structural information about these oligomeric species which could result from an intramolecular cyclization mechanism occurring soon in the course of the polymerization process. Thus, with the objective of overcoming these drawbacks, this contribution deals with the variations of manufacturing specifications such as pH and magnetic stirring speed to try and modulate molecular weight (Mw) of nanoparticle constituents and reduce oligomer concentration. Although the analyses performed on these new nanoparticles were rather encouraging, the colloid formation yield became so low that it required the developement of other methodologies, excluding a previous emulsion step, and allowing a controlled production of PMM 2.1.2-made nanoparticles having better physico-chemical characteristics while keeping good pharmaceutical capabilities.","lang":"eng"}],"scopus_import":"1","fulldoi":"https://doi.org/10.1016/s0142-9612(97)00243-3","date_updated":"2026-04-15T12:48:31Z","page":"271-281","year":"1998","issue":"1-3","keyword":["Colloid physico-chemical analysis","Colloidal drug carriers","MALDI-TOF spectroscopy","Nanoparticles","Poly(methylidene malonate)","Scanning electron microscopy"],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0142-9612"]},"volume":19,"month":"01","type":"journal_article","status":"public","OA_type":"closed access","intvolume":"        19","citation":{"short":"P.
