Intense Visible Luminescence in CdSe Quantum Dots by Efficiency Surface Passivation with H2O Molecules

Abstract: We have investigated the effect of water (H 2 O) cooling and heat treatment on the luminescence efficiency of core CdSe quantum dots (QDs). The photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield of the CdSe QDs was enhanced up to ∼85%, and some periodic bright points were observed in wide color ranges during the heat treatment of QDs mixed with H 2 O. The PL enhancement of QDs could be attributed to the recovery of QDs surface traps by unreacted ligands confined within the hydrophilic H 2 O molecule containers.

“…[66,67] Another solution for the poor PLQE of QDs is the shelling of inorganic atomic layers with a wider bandgap on the surface of core QDs, which enhances the PLQE by effectively reducing the nonradioactive recombination. [68] Although the PLQE of core-only QDs has been reported to be lower than 50%, the best reported values of PLQE are around 80% for inorganic-shelled QDs, which is competitive with organic species. Another important factor that has an influence on the device efficiency is the arrangement of energy levels, which controls the density of charge carrier in the layers.…”
