“…Among the II-VI semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), cadmium telluride (CdTe) is one of the most attractive candidates because of their size-dependent emission in a visible region and high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (QY) [7] The size-dependent properties make it especially suitable as building blocks for light-emitting diodes [8,9], photovoltaics [10,11], photonic crystals and bio-imaging [12,13], biological and chemical sensor applications [14,15], etc. Unlike other II-VI compound materials, CdTe can be prepared in both n-type and p-type conductivities [16,17], hence the facile route making of diode and field effect transistors possible. This permits the fabrication of solar cells in both homojunction and heterojunction configuration.…”
