Application

The size for our lead sulfide (PbS) quantum dots (QDs) varies between 2.5 to 8 nm and depending upon this, these QDs emit between 900-1600 nm. Our PbS QDs possess high quantum yield, sharp emission and exhibit narrow fluorescence band (full width at half maximum <100 nm), which make them suitable as light absorber or IR emitter in applications in solar cells, photodetectors and infrared light emitting diodes (LEDs).

The detection of photons underpins imaging, spectroscopy, fibre-optic communications and time-gated distance measurements. Nanostructured materials are attractive for detection applications because they can be integrated with conventional silicon electronics and flexible, large-area substrates, and can be processed from the solution
