Lead Selenide Quantum Dots: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications
Lead selenide quantum dots (QDs) are a type of II-VI compound that exhibit exceptional optical and electronic properties. Their synthesis typically involves colloidal methods, allowing for precise control over size and shape. The unique quantum confinement nature of these QDs leads to a strong dependence of their band gap on diameter, resulting in
