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

A solution-based passivation scheme is developed featuring the use of molecular iodine and PbS colloidal quantum dots (CQDs). The improved passivation translates into a longer carrier diffusion length in the solid film. This allows thicker solar-cell devices to be built

In this article, the properties of some of the new non-cadmium based QDs along with different applications of QDs are summarized.

Recent Advances in the Use of Cadmiumfree Quantum Dots for Bioimaging

Dr. Delehanty and researcher introduce recent advances in the use of cadmium-free quantum dots for bioimaging. Focus is placed on strategies that have emerged in the last five years for design, synthesis, and surface modifications of non-Cd quantum dots (QDs) for bioimaging and sensing applications.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
