Metal-hydride-free one-pot synthesis of InSb/InP core/shell quantum dots for light-emitting diodes

Abstract

A one-pot synthesis of InSb/InP core–shell quantum dots (QDs) using aminopnictogen precursors enhanced the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) from 0.8% to 7.0% compared to InSb cores. For the first time, InSb/InP QD-based QLEDs exhibiting NIR-SWIR electroluminescence were demonstrated.
