Over the past few years, colloidal copper chalcogenide nanocrystals (NCs) have emerged
as promising alternatives to conventional Cd and Pb chalcogenide NCs. Owing to their wide …

The external quantum efficiencies of state-of-the-art colloidal quantum dot light-emitting
diodes (QLEDs) are now approaching the limit set by the out-coupling efficiency. However …

Exciting characteristic features of nanomaterials in contrast to their bulk phase require shape
control of morphologies at the nanometer scale. Surfactants, a unique class of surface active …

We developed a simple non-hot-injection synthetic route that achieves in situ halide-
passivated PbS and PbSe quantum dots (QDs) and simplifies the fabrication of Pb …

Increasing the quantum yields of InP quantum dots is important for their applications,
particularly for use in consumer displays. While several methods exist to improve quantum …

We have fabricated chemically bonded BiVO 4/ZnO quantum dot (QD) heterostructures
