Funded Activity Summary

Cadmium-free one-dimensional colloidal nanocrystal heterostructures. The goal of this project is to develop innovative colloidal nanocrystal heterostructures to provide the basis for eco-friendly optoelectronic devices and photocatalysis as well as other advanced applications. One-dimensional semiconductor nanocrystals have desirable electronic and catalytic properties (a linearly polarised emission, large absorption cross section, reduced lasing threshold and improved charge separation and transport). However, present investigations of these materials are mainly limited to highly toxic cadmium chalcogenides. This project aims to explore a family of cadmium-free colloidal nanocrystal heterostructures with the desired properties. The project intends to investigate their growth mechanisms, properties and effects to support product development and advance the fundamental knowledge of electronics at the nanoscale.
