Abstract
The optimization of photoluminescence (PL) spectral bandwidths in InP-based colloidal quantum dots (QDs) faces limitations with traditional synthetic methods. This study introduces a novel approach utilizing light-induced thiolate ligand detachment to selectively precipitate QDs within an ensemble, triggered by photons whose energy matches the red tail of the band-edge absorption peak. We demonstrate that incorporating benzoquinone as an electron acceptor under inert conditions crucially enhances the efficiency of photoexcited hole-induced ligand detachment. Through careful optimization of laser exposure conditions, we successfully narrowed the PL bandwidth of InP/ZnSe/ZnS QDs from 39 to 35 nm. Our findings offer significant insights into the development of high-performance QD-based displays, promising advancements in color purity.
期刊介绍：
The Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society is an official research journal of the Korean Chemical Society. It was founded in 1980 and reaches out to the chemical community worldwide. It is strictly peer-reviewed and welcomes Accounts, Communications, Articles, and Notes written in English. The scope of the journal covers all major areas of chemistry: analytical chemistry, electrochemistry, industrial chemistry, inorganic chemistry, life-science chemistry, macromolecular chemistry, organic synthesis, non-synthetic organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and materials chemistry.
