Specifically, the effect of the tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphine, P(TMS)<sub>3</sub>, precursor concentration on the QDs properties was studied to effectively control the size and shape of the samples with a minimum size dispersion. The effect of the P(TMS)<sub>3</sub> precursor concentration on the optical, structural, chemical surface, and electronic properties of InP-In<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> QDs is discussed. The absorption spectra of InP-In<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> colloids, obtained by both UV-Vis spectrophotometry and photoacoustic spectroscopy, showed a red-shift in the high-energy regime as the concentration of thApplied surface scienceChemical synthesis and optical, structural, and surface characterization of InP-In<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> quantum dots.PMC7375344240908205733Vazquez-Hernandez FArias-Ceron JSMendoza-Alvarez JGHerrera-Perez JLRodriguez-Fragoso PDuran-Ledezma AATomas SACruz-Orea AGranada-Ramirez DAPerez-Gonzalez MLuna-Arias JPGomez-Herrera MLfalseChemical synthesis and optical, structural, and surface characterization of InP-In<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> quantum dots.InP-In<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> colloidal quantum dots (QDs) synthesized by a single-step chemical method without injection of hot precursors (one-pot) were investigated.
