摘要: Abstract We report the synthesis and optical characterization of core/shell CdSe/CdS quantum dots (QDs) with controlled surface composition. Using secondary phosphine chalcogenide cadmium carboxylate precursors in an alternating layer-by-layer synthetic approach, elemental composition quasi-type-I QDs can be repeatedly tuned from predominately to predominantly sulfur, as measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Similar CdS CdSe core-only QDs, has a significant effect on photoluminescence (PL) yield: sulfur terminated exhibit quenched PL, while have relatively bright PL. Density-functional tight-binding calculations clusters suggest that PL quenching for sulfur-rich surfaces is result high density hole states QD bandgap. Time-resolved measurements confirm QDs’ nonradiative recombination rates are strongly sensitive
