Directed Energy Transfer from Monolayer WS₂ to Near-Infrared Emitting PbS-CdS Quantum Dots.

ABSTRACT: Heterostructures of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and inorganic semiconducting zero-dimensional (0D) quantum dots (QDs) offer useful charge and energy transfer pathways, which could form the basis of future optoelectronic devices. To date, most have focused on charge transfer and energy transfer from QDs to TMDs, that is, from 0D to 2D. Here, we present a study of the energy transfer process from a 2D to 0D material, specifically exploring energy transfer from monolayer tungsten disulfide (WS₂) to near-infrared emitting lead sulfide-cadmium sulfide (PbS-CdS) QDs. The high absorption cross section of WS₂ in the visible region combined with the potentially high photoluminescence (PL) efficiency of PbS QD systems makes this an interesting donor-acceptor system that can effectively use the WS₂ as an antenna and the QD as a tunable emitter, in this case, downshifting the emission energy over hundreds of millielectron volts. We study the energy transfer process using photoluminescence excitation and PL microscopy and show that 58% of the QD PL arises due to energy transfer from the WS₂. Time-resolved photoluminescence microscopy studies show that the energy transfer process is faster than the intrinsic PL quenching by trap states in the WS₂, thus allowing for efficient energy transfer. Our results establish that QDs could be used as tunable and high PL efficiency emitters to modify the emission properties of TMDs. Such TMD-QD heterostructures could have applications in light-emitting technologies or artificial light-harvesting systems or be used to read out the state of TMD devices optically in various logic and computing applications.

Iodide capped PbS/CdS core-shell quantum dots for efficient long-wavelength near-infrared light-emitting diodes.

Project description:PbS based quantum dots (QDs) have been studied in great detail for potential applications in electroluminescent devices operating at wavelengths important for telecommunications (1.3-1.6??m). Despite the recent advances in field of quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED), further improvements in near-infrared (NIR) emitting device performance are still necessary for the widespread use and commercialization of NIR emitting QLED technology. Here, we report a high-performance 1.51-?m emitting QLED with inverted organic-inorganic hybrid device architecture and PbS/CdS core-shell structured quantum dots as emitter. The resultant QLEDs show a record device performance for the QLEDs in 1.5??m emission window, with a maximum radiance of 6.04 Wsr-1 m-2 and peak external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 4.12%, respectively.

CsPbBr3/CdS Core/Shell Structure Quantum Dots for Inverted Light-Emitting Diodes Application.

Project description:Novel CsPbBr3/CdS core/shell structure quantum dots (QDs) were successfully synthesized using a facile hot-injection method. The corresponding CsPbBr3/CdS QDs based light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) were further prepared, which demonstrated the maximum luminance of 354 cd/m2 and an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 0.4% with the current efficiency (CE) of 0.3 cd/A. Moreover, the optoelectronic performance of the CsPbBr3/CdS QDs based QLEDs exhibited a comparable enhancement in contrast to the pure CsPbBr3 QDs based QLEDs. Hypothetically, the novel CsPbBr3/CdS structure QDs introduced one new route for advanced light emission applications of perovskite materials.

Coupled Charge Transfer Dynamics and Photoluminescence Quenching in Monolayer MoS2 Decorated with WS2 Quantum Dots.

Project description:Herein, we have investigated the tunability of the photoluminescence (PL) of the monolayer MoS2 (1L-MoS2) by decorating it with WS2 quantum dots (WS2 QD). The direct bandgap 1L-MoS2 and WS2 QDs are grown by chemical vapor deposition and liquid exfoliation methods, respectively. The room temperature PL spectrum of bare 1L-MoS2 is systematically quenched with its decoration with WS2 QDs at different concentrations. A decrease in the work function of 1L-MoS2 with the decoration of WS2 QDs was established from the Kelvin probe force microscopy analysis. A detailed quantitative analysis using the four-energy level model involving coupled charge transfer was employed to explain the redshift and the systematic decrease in the intensity of the PL peak in 1L-MoS2/WS2 QD heterostructure. The modulation of the PL in the heterostructure is attributed to the increase in the formation of negative trions through the charge transfer from WS2 QD to the 1L-MoS2 and thus making the 1L-MoS2 heavily n-type doped, with increase in the electron density by ~1.5 × 1013 cm-2. This study establishes the contribution of defects in the coupled charge transfer dynamics in 1L-MoS2, and it lays out a convenient strategy to manipulate the optical and electrical properties of 1L-MoS2 for various optoelectronic applications.

Electrochemiluminescence energy transfer-promoted ultrasensitive immunoassay using near-infrared-emitting CdSeTe/CdS/ZnS quantum dots and gold nanorods.

Project description:The marriage of energy transfer with electrochemiluminescence has produced a new technology named electrochemiluminescence energy transfer (ECL-ET), which can realize effective and sensitive detection of biomolecules. To obtain optimal ECL-ET efficiency, perfect energy overlapped donor/acceptor pair is of great importance. Herein, we present a sensitive ECL-ET based immunosensor for the detection of tumor markers, using energy tunable CdSeTe/CdS/ZnS double shell quantum dots (QDs) and gold nanorods (GNRs) as the donor and acceptor, respectively. Firstly a facile microwave-assisted strategy for the synthesis of green- to near-infrared-emitting CdSeTe/CdS/ZnS QDs with time- and component-tunable photoluminescence was proposed. And, on the basis of the adjustable optical properties of both CdSeTe/CdS/ZnS QDs and GNRs, excellent overlap between donor emission and acceptor absorption can be obtained to ensure effective ECL-ET quenching, thus improving the sensing sensitivity. This method represents a novel approach for versatile detection of biomolecules at low concentrations.

The Biosynthesis of Infrared-Emitting Quantum Dots in Allium Fistulosum.

Project description:The development of simple routes to emissive solid-state materials is of paramount interest, and in this report we describe the biosynthesis of infrared emitting quantum dots in a living plant via a mutual antagonistic reaction. Exposure of common Allium fistulosum to mercury and tellurium salts under ambient conditions resulted in the expulsion of crystalline, non-passivated HgTe quantum dots that exhibited emissive characteristics in the near-infrared spectral region, a wavelength range that is important in telecommunications and solar energy conversion.

Quasi-type II CuInS2/CdS core/shell quantum dots.

Project description:Ternary chalcopyrite CuInS2 quantum dots (QDs) have been extensively studied in recent years as an alternative to conventional QDs for solar energy conversion applications. However, compared with the well-established photophysics in prototypical CdSe QDs, much less is known about the excited properties of CuInS2 QDs. In this work, using ultrafast spectroscopy, we showed that both conduction band (CB) edge electrons and copper vacancy (VCu) localized holes were susceptible to surface trappings in CuInS2 QDs. These trap states could be effectively passivated by forming quasi-type II CuInS2/CdS core/shell QDs, leading to a single-exciton (with electrons delocalized among CuInS2/CdS CB and holes localized in VCu) half lifetime of as long as 450 ns. Because of reduced electron-hole overlap in quasi-type II QDs, Auger recombination of multiple excitons was also suppressed and the bi-exciton lifetime was prolonged to 42 ps in CuInS2/CdS QDs from 10 ps in CuInS2 QDs. These demonstrated advantages, including passivated trap states, long single and multiple exciton lifetimes, suggest that quasi-type II CuInS2/CdS QDs are promising materials for photovoltaic and photocatalytic applications.

Mid- and Long-Wave Infrared Optoelectronics via Intraband Transitions in PbS Colloidal Quantum Dots.

Project description:Optical sensing in the mid- and long-wave infrared (MWIR, LWIR) is of paramount importance for a large spectrum of applications including environmental monitoring, gas sensing, hazard detection, food and product manufacturing inspection, and so forth. Yet, such applications to date are served by costly and complex epitaxially grown HgCdTe quantum-well and quantum-dot infrared photodetectors. The possibility of exploiting low-energy intraband transitions make colloidal quantum dots (CQD) an attractive low-cost alternative to expensive low bandgap materials for infrared applications. Unfortunately, fabrication of quantum dots exhibiting intraband absorption is technologically constrained by the requirement of controlled heavy doping, which has limited, so far, MWIR and LWIR CQD detectors to mercury-based materials. Here, we demonstrate intraband absorption and photodetection in heavily doped PbS colloidal quantum dots in the 5-9 ?m range, beyond the PbS bulk band gap, with responsivities on the order of 10-4 A/W at 80 K. We have further developed a model based on quantum transport equations to understand the impact of electron population of the conduction band in the performance of intraband photodetectors and offer guidelines toward further performance improvement.

Aerobic Conditions Enhance the Photocatalytic Stability of CdS/CdOx Quantum Dots.

Project description:Photocatalytic H2 production through water splitting represents an attractive route to generate a renewable fuel. These systems are typically limited to anaerobic conditions due to the inhibiting effects of O2 . Here, we report that sacrificial H2 evolution with CdS quantum dots does not necessarily suffer from O2 inhibition and can even be stabilised under aerobic conditions. The introduction of O2 prevents a key inactivation pathway of CdS (over-accumulation of metallic Cd and particle agglomeration) and thereby affords particles with higher stability. These findings represent a possibility to exploit the O2 reduction reaction to inhibit deactivation, rather than catalysis, offering a strategy to stabilise photocatalysts that suffer from similar degradation reactions.

Interface Engineering of Water-Dispersible Near-Infrared-Emitting CuInZnS/ZnSe/ZnS Quantum Dots.

Project description:We report the synthesis of near-infrared (IR)-emitting core/shell/shell quantum dots of CuInZnS/ZnSe/ZnS and their phase transfer to water. The intermediate ZnSe shell was added to inhibit the migration of ions from the standard ZnS shell into the emitting core, which often leads to a blue shift in the emission profile. By engineering the interface between the core and terminal shell layer, the optical properties can be controlled, and emission was maintained in the near-IR region, making the materials attractive for biological applications. In addition, the hydrodynamic diameter of the particle was controlled using amphiphilic polymers.

Green Light-Emitting Devices Based on Perovskite CsPbBr3 Quantum Dots.

Project description:In this paper, high quality green-emitting CsPbBr3 quantum dots (QDs) are successfully synthesized by hot-injection method. Different injection temperatures are tested to optimize the synthesis conditions. High brightness with the photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields (QYs) up to 90% and narrow size-distribution with the full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 18.5 nm are obtained under the optimized conditions. Green light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on the CsPbBr3 QDs are successfully demonstrated by combining solution method with vapor deposition method. Composite films of poly[9,9-dioctylfluorene-co- N-[4-(3-methylpropyl)]-diphenylamine] (TFB) and bathocuproine (BCP) layers are chosen as the hole-transporting and the electron-transporting layers, respectively. The highly bright green QD-based light-emitting devices (QLEDs) showing maximum luminance up to 46,000 cd/m2 with a low turn on voltage of 2.3 V, and peak external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 5.7%, corresponding to 19.9 cd/A in luminance efficiency. These devices also show high color purity for electroluminescence (EL) with FWHM <20 nm, and no redshift and broadening with increasing voltage as well as a spectral match between PL and EL.
