Description

Background technique [0001] The present invention relates to double heterojunction nanoparticles, methods for their preparation and articles comprising the nanoparticles. [0002] One advantage of semiconductor nanocrystals is their potential use to improve the efficiency of optoelectronic devices. Spherical nanocrystalline heterostructures, sometimes called core-shell quantum dots, are widely used in quantum dot light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In these core-shell heterostructures mainly composed of type I (straddled) band shifts, the heterojunction only functions as a passivation layer, thereby improving the photoluminescence efficiency. Due to their unique optical and electronic properties, semiconductor nanocrystals have attracted considerable attention in various optoelectronic applications, including photovoltaics (PV), LEDs, solid-state lighting, and displays. These small crystals have one or more dimensions and are a few nanometers in length, making it possible to tune ...
