Abstract

Abstract : In this work, we present a new way to understand and influence the properties of quantum dots utilizing surface chemistry. Abstract : In this report, we present a new path to the control of quantum dot surface chemistry that can lead to a better understanding of nanoscale interfaces and the development of improved photocatalysts. Control of the synthetic methodology leads to QDs that are concomitantly ligated by crystal-bound organics at the surface anion sites and small X-type ligands on the surface cation sites.
