Illuminating microemulsions: ionic liquid–CdS quantum dots hybrid materials as potential white light harvesting systems. Issue 37 (18th April 2016) - Damarla, Krishnaiah
Abstract : Ionic liquid–CdS quantum dot hybrid materials have been shown to display balanced white light emission with very high quantum efficiency. Abstract : Microemulsions (MEs) comprising of 2-hydroxyethylammonium formate, (HO-EAF), isooctane and dioctylsulfosuccinate proliniumisopropylester ([ProC3 ]AOT) have been constructed and used to prepare and stabilize CdS Quantum Dots (QDs) at room temperature. Such hybrid materials exhibited tunable light emission wherein the photoluminescence chromaticity could be precisely adjusted to pure white with a quantum efficiency (QE) of ∼43%, by adjusting the droplet size of MEs.
