Electronic Impurity Doping of Colloidal Semiconductor Nanocrystals
Doping is extremely important for controlling the electronic conductivity of bulk semiconductors. However, very few examples exist where impurities that have been incorporated into colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals affect their electronic properties. Here we will discuss the challenges in this area as well as recent progress. In particular, we will describe an approach to lightly dope semico...
متن کاملManipulating electrochemical performance through doping beyond the solubility limit.
Improving water splitting efficiency has been the holy grail of hydrogen fuel production. Major efforts have been invested in an attempt to enhance efficiency of a common water oxidation catalyst, α-Fe2O3, through doping and alloying. Recent experiments show that higher efficiency is achieved when niobium (Nb) is added beyond the solubility limit to generate a mixture of two phases: Nb-doped an...
متن کاملPhotochemical electronic doping of colloidal CdSe nanocrystals.
A method for electronic doping of colloidal CdSe nanocrystals (NCs) is reported. Anaerobic photoexcitation of CdSe NCs in the presence of a borohydride hole quencher, Li[Et3BH], yields colloidal n-type CdSe NCs possessing extra conduction-band electrons compensated by cations deposited by the hydride hole quencher. The photodoped NCs possess excellent optical quality and display the key spectro...
متن کاملHypervalent surface interactions for colloidal stability and doping of silicon nanocrystals
Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals have attracted attention for cost-effective, solution-based deposition of quantum-confined thin films for optoelectronics. However, two significant challenges must be addressed before practical nanocrystal-based devices can be realized. The first is coping with the ligands that terminate the nanocrystal surfaces. Though ligands provide the colloidal stabilit...
متن کاملSurface transfer doping can mediate both colloidal stability and self-assembly of nanodiamonds.
Although undoped diamond is insulating, hydrogenated bulk diamond surfaces exhibit surface conductivity under air and are electrochemically active in aqueous solutions. Due to their large surface/volume ratio, similar surface effects may exhibit a dramatic impact on the properties of nanodiamonds. Here we show that plasma-hydrogenated detonation nanodiamonds (NDs-H) display a positive zeta pote...
