Optoelectronic Properties in Near-Infrared Colloidal Heterostructured Pyramidal "Giant" Core/Shell Quantum Dots.

ABSTRACT: Colloidal heterostructured quantum dots (QDs) are promising candidates for next-generation optoelectronic devices. In particular, "giant" core/shell QDs (g-QDs) can be engineered to exhibit outstanding optical properties and high chemical/photostability for the fabrication of high-performance optoelectronic devices. Here, the synthesis of heterostructured CuInSe x S2-x (CISeS)/CdSeS/CdS g-QDs with pyramidal shape by using a facile two-step method is reported. The CdSeS/CdS shell is demonstrated to have a pure zinc blend phase other than typical wurtzite phase. The as-obtained heterostructured g-QDs exhibit near-infrared photoluminescence (PL) emission (≈830 nm) and very long PL lifetime (in the microsecond range). The pyramidal g-QDs exhibit a quasi-type II band structure with spatial sepa
