Facile activation and conversion of small molecules (eg, H2O, CO2, N2, CH4, and C6H6)
into solar fuels or value-added chemicals under mild conditions is an attractive pathway in …

Introducing a few atoms of impurities or dopants in semiconductor nanocrystals can
drastically alter the existing properties or even introduce new properties. For example, mid …

At present, the technological groundwork of atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) hetero-
layered structures realized by successive thin film epitaxial growth is in principle constrained …

Quantum dot (QD) solids represent a new type of condensed matter drawing high
fundamental and applied interest. Quantum confinement in individual QDs, combined with …

This paper examines the variation of the linear, third-order nonlinear and total intersubband
optical absorption (refractive index changes) coefficients of a donor impurity in multilayer …

Transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) have been well-established as ideal low-
dimensional systems for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Strategies toward improving the …

Impurity doping in semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) has numerous prospects in
implementing and altering their properties and technologies. Herein, we review the state-of …

Here we show a novel strategy for tailoring the synergistic electrical properties of metal@
semiconductor hybrid nanocrystals (HNCs) based on cation exchange-enabled electronic …

The role of ligands in passivating quantum dots has been studied in this work using Cu
doping as internal sensors. This has been elucidated using the example of dodecanethiol, 3 …

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are promising materials for optoelectronic devices. In this
paper, monodispersed and environment stable cobalt (Co)-doped CdS QDs have been …
