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

Sulfide-based luminescent materials have attracted a lot of attention for a wide range of
photo-, cathodo-and electroluminescent applications. Upon doping with Ce3+ and Eu2+, the …

We quantitatively investigate the size-dependent optical properties of colloidal PbS
nanocrystals or quantum dots (Qdots), by combining the Qdot absorbance spectra with …

Colloidal quantum dot (CQD) photovoltaics combine low-cost solution processability with
quantum size-effect tunability to match absorption with the solar spectrum. Rapid recent …

We report here on a detailed study on PbS colloidal quantum dots. A characterization via X-
ray diffraction (XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) …

Hybrid interfaces combining inorganic and organic materials underpin the operation of many
optoelectronic and photocatalytic systems and allow for innovative approaches to photon up …

Semiconductor nanocrystals produced by means of colloidal chemistry in a solvent medium
are an attractive class of nanometer‐sized building blocks from which to create complex …

We investigated the effect of PbSe quantum dot size on the performance of Schottky solar
cells made in an ITO/PEDOT/PbSe/aluminum structure, varying the PbSe nanoparticle …

High-quality PbS nanocrystals were produced in multigram-scale quantities through a
solventless, heterogeneous, and relatively green route. The heterogeneous nature of this …

Effects of air exposure on surface properties, electronic structure, and carrier relaxation
dynamics in colloidal PbSe nanocrystals (NCs) were studied using X-ray photoelectron …
