Development of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on colloidal quantum dots is driven by attractive properties of these fluorophores such as spectrally narrow, tunable emission and facile processibility via solution-based methods. A current obstacle towards improved LED performance is an incomplete understanding of the roles of extrinsic factors, such as non-radiative recombination at surface defects, versus intrinsic processes, such as multicarrier Auger recombination or electron-hole separatio

We demonstrate a single-step synthetic method for highly luminescent (i.e., quantum yield up to 80%) and stable quantum dots (QDs) by using the reactivity difference between Cd and Zn precursors and that between Se and S precursors. A wide range of emission wavelengths (500−610 nm) with a narrow fwhm (<35 nm) is obtained by changing the ratios of the precursors. Under the reaction conditions selected, Cd- and Se (with a bit of S)-based cores are formed first and Zn- and S-based shells are formed

The influence of a CdSexS1-x interfacial alloyed layer on the photophysical properties of core/shell CdSe/CdS nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs) is investigated by comparing reference QDs with a sharp core/shell interface to alloyed structures with an intermediate CdSexS1-x layer at the core/shell interface. To fully realize the structural contrast, we have developed two novel synthetic approaches: a method for fast CdS-shell growth, which results in an abrupt core/shell boundary (no intentional or

Highly efficient green-light-emitting diodes (LEDs) based on [email protected] quantum dots (QDs) with a chemical-composition gradient are demonstrated. Through the moderate control of QD coverage in multilayered devices, excellent device performance has been achieved. The color-saturated green-light emission (see figure for Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) co-ordinates) is mainly from the QD layers (more than 99% of total emission). Detailed facts of importance to specialist reade

PbSe nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs) are a promising active material for a range of optoelectronic devices, including solar cells, high-sensitivity infrared (IR) photodetectors, and IR-emitting diodes and lasers. However, device realization has been constrained by these NQDs' chemical instability toward oxidation, which leads to uncontrollable changes in optical and electronic properties. Here, we present a simple method to enhance the stability of PbSe NQDs against oxidation and to improve thei

A systematic analysis of the exciton-recombination zone within all-quantum dot (QD) multilayer films prepared by a layer-by-layer assembly method was made, using sensing QD layers in QD-based light-emitting diodes (QLEDs). Large area practical multicolored colloidal QLEDs were also demonstrated by patterning and placing variously colored QDs (red, orange, yellow-green, and green) in the exciton-recombination zone.

Bright, low-voltage driven colloidal quantum dot (QD)-based white light-emitting devices (LEDs) with practicable device performances are enabled by the direct exciton formation within quantum-dot active layers in a hybrid device structure. Detailed device characterization reveals that white-QLEDs can be rationalized as a parallel circuit, in which different QDs are connected through the same set of electrically common organic and inorganic charge transport layers.

We investigate the operational instability of quantum dot (QD)-based light-emitting diodes (QLEDs). Spectroscopic analysis on the QD emissive layer within devices in chorus with the optoelectronic and electrical characteristics of devices discloses that the device efficiency of QLEDs under operation is indeed deteriorated by two main mechanisms. The first is the luminance efficiency drop of the QD emissive layer in the running devices owing to the accumulation of excess electrons in the QDs, whi

We demonstrated a facile synthesis of highly luminescent blue emitting Cd1−xZnxS/ZnS core/shell structured nanocrystals (NCs) in straightforward and reproducible manner. The alloyed Cd1−xZnxS cores with homogeneity in both size and composition were prepared by introducing S precursors (S dissolved in the noncoordinating solvent (1-octadecene)) into the mixed solution of Cd−Oleate (Cd(OA)2) and Zn−Oleate (Zn(OA)2) at elevated temperature (300 °C). ZnS shells were successively overcoated on the pr

Advance in wet chemistry enables the sophisticated design of nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs) and allows unprecedented color purity and brightness, promising their useful applications in a variety of light-emitting applications. A representative example is core/shell heterostructures, in which charge carriers are effectively decoupled from structural artifacts to generate photons efficiently. Despite the development of widely accepted synthetic protocols for Cd- or Pb-based QDs, the progress in he

Unveiling the atomistic surface structure of colloidal quantum dots may provide the route to rational design of highly performing III–V nanocrystals with control over energy levels position, surface energy, trap passivation, and heterojunction interface.

Abstract Endowing quantum dots (QDs) with robustness and durability have been one of the most important issues in this field, since the major limitations of QDs in practical applications are their thermal and oxidative instabilities. In this work, we propose a facile and effective passivation method to enhance the photochemical stability of QDs using polymeric double shell structures from thiol-terminated poly(methyl methacrylate- b -glycidyl methacrylate) (P(MMA- b -GMA)-SH) block copolymer lig
