The optical and electronic performance of inorganic nanocrystal assemblies stabilized by organic ligands has been extensively investigated, whereas less attention has been paid to their thermal transport properties. It is now shown that the thermal conductivity of these composite systems is determined by the vibrational states of both inorganic and ligand regions, as well as by their relative volumes.
