A topotactic reaction strategy has been reported to achieve the oriented attachment of colloidal metal chalcogenide quantum dots into micrometer-sized nanosheets and nanobelts (up to 6-7 μm) on both mechanically rigid and flexible substrates. The non-stoichiometric compositions, crystallization, Ag doping and good contact with substrate were controlled well. The observation of weak anti-localization phenomena and Hall effect sensitivity, the improved I-V and photoresponse property and the stable I-V property of these nanosheet films on flexible substrates under bending force testify their potential electronic device application.
