The subject of this review is the colloidal quantum dot (QD) and specifically the interaction of
the QD with proximate molecules. It covers various functions of these molecules, including (i) …

As the world's population increases and substantial industrial growth continues, the energy
demands of society increase rapidly. Although the earth's oil, natural gas, and coal deposits …

The ability to upconvert two low energy photons into one high energy photon has potential
applications in solar energy, biological imaging, and data storage. In this Letter, CdSe and …

Quantum dot (QD) surface chemistry is an emerging field in semiconductor nanocrystal
related research. Along with size manipulation, the careful control of QD surface chemistry …

Size‐controlled soft‐template synthesis of carbon nanodots (CNDs) as novel photoactive
materials is reported. The size of the CNDs can be controlled by regulating the amount of an …

This article reviews the mechanisms through which molecules adsorbed to the surfaces of
semiconductor nanocrystals, quantum dots (QDs), influence the pathways for and dynamics …

Long-chain saturated hydrocarbons and alkoxysilanes are ligands that are commonly used
to passivate perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) to enhance their stability and optical …

Molecular control of energy transfer is an attractive proposition because it allows chemists to
synthetically tweak various kinetic and thermodynamic factors. In this Perspective, we …

We investigated the charge transfer interactions between luminescent quantum dots (QDs)
and redox active dopamine. For this, we used pH-insensitive ZnS-overcoated CdSe QDs …

This review outlines the set of technical approaches to answering three major questions
about the surface chemistry of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs):(i) What is the …
