This chapter discusses the synthesis processes of quantum dots (QDs) using both top‐down and bottom‐up approaches. Top‐down synthesis involves thinning down a bulk semiconductor material using ...

Bawendi, now the Lester Wolfe Professor of Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in chemistry in October for his pioneering work in producing quantum ...

Scientists still are working on finding efficient and universal methods for the synthesis of GQDs with high stability, controllable surface properties, and tunable PL emission wavelength. Luminescent ...

This paper reviews the experimental synthesis and engineering developments that focused on various green approaches and large-scale process production routes for quantum dots. Fundamental process ...

Sanjiv Gambhir and colleagues from the Molecular Imaging and Bio-X Program for interdisciplinary research at Stanford describe the synthesis and the use of bioluminescent quantum dots for in vivo ...

Scientists from China have developed high-performance colloidal quantum-dot (CQD)  surface-emitting laser array based on ...

In this article, you will learn how to choose the best precursor for quantum dot synthesis, depending on the desired size, shape, and composition of the nanocrystals. The precursor is the chemical ...

Colloidal methods are a class of techniques that use organic or inorganic precursors, solvents, surfactants, and heating to produce quantum dots in a liquid medium. The precursors are dissolved or ...

This is due to quantum effects, hence the name "quantum dots." For the discovery and synthesis of these fascinating tiny particles, Moungi Bawendi, Louis E. Brus and Alexey Ekimov were awarded the ...

Quantum dots are crystals of a fluorescent semiconductor material with a diameter of as few as 10 to 100 atoms (2-10 nm). They are used as labels for imaging molecules because of their very narrow ...
