Phosphonic acids as stabilizing ligands for cadmium chalcogenide colloidal quantum dots

Аннотация

In this review we present the applications of phosphonic acids in high-temperature colloidal synthesis of cadmium chalcogenide quantum dots and anisotropic nanocrystals. The influence of these acids on the processes of nucleation and growth, particle shape and size, phase composition and luminescent properties is considered. It is shown that phosphonic acids can significantly increase luminescence quantum yield and time stability.
