Abstract
A method includes at least partially submerging a substrate in a colloidal mixture of nanocrystals and a first solvent. The nanocrystals have first ligands coupled thereto. The method also includes applying an electric field to the colloidal mixture to form a solvated nanocrystal film and removing the solvated nanocrystal film from the first solvent. The method further includes applying a second solvent to the solvated nanocrystal film for ligand exchange. The second solvent comprises second ligands. A nanocrystal film product formed by one-step ligand exchange includes at least one dimension greater than 100 nm and ordered nanocrystals characterized as having a domain size of greater than 100 nm.
