Band Alignment Engineering of Semiconductor Nanocrystal Heterostructures Toward Emerging Applications

Due to the superb tunable properties of quantum dots (QDs), they have been largely studied in past few decades for many promising applications. However, a single nanocrystal QD, its are limited due tunability composition, charge carrier dynamics, band alignment, and so on. Thus, solve problem, enhance their physical, chemical, electrical, optical properties, heterostructure nanocrystals (NCs), which combine NCs with other materials either semiconductor or metal, proposed. In these heterostructures, can be modified through tailoring therefore providing great potential widespread Here, an overview strategies alignment engineering, synthesis methods, corresponding applications, such as lighting devices, lasers, photocatalysis, biological applications offered.
