  bibo_abstract:
  - Copper chalcogenides offer high charge mobility and low lattice thermal conductivity
    but suffer from structural instability due to dynamic Cu+ migration. Here, we
    report a colloidal hot-injection synthesis of ternary cesium copper selenide (CsCu5Se3)
    nanocrystals (NCs), achieving precise control over phase, size, and morphology
    through tailored precursor-ligand modulation. This strategy enabled systematic
    exploration of stable and metastable Cs–Cu–Se phases and mechanistic investigation
    of nucleation and growth, providing insight into phase modulation and dimensional
    control at the nanoscale. CsCu5Se3 NCs exhibit low lattice thermal conductivity
    (∼0.5 Wm–1K–1) and an experimental zT of 0.27 at 718 K. Complementary first-principles
    calculations, consistent with experimental electronic and optical responses, predict
    a zT of 1.05 at 1000 K. These findings elucidate the formation dynamics of CsCu5Se3
    and establish ABZ (A = alkali, B = metal, Z = chalcogen) NCs as tunable platforms
    for advanced functional applications.@eng
