Inorganic-Ligand Quantum Dots Meet Inorganic-Ligand Semiconductor Nanoplatelets: A Promising Fusion to Construct All-Inorganic Assembly

By the reaction of inorganic-ligand CdS/Cd²⁺ quantum dots (QDs) with inorganic-ligand CdSe/CdS/S^2– nanoplatelets (NPLs), semiconductor CdS QDs were fused with CdSe/CdS NPLs to yield all-inorganic assemblies, accompanied by great photoluminescence-enhancement. These all-inorganic assemblies facilitate charge transport between each other and open up interesting prospects with electronic and optoelectronic nanodevices.
