Abstract

Inorganic nanocomposites synthesized by combination of colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) and inorganic clusters have recently emerged as new materials with novel and unique functionalities. Much of the demonstrated promise of nanocomposites derives from the unique interactions between NC and matrix components - this generates new material properties, which direct unique transport behavior in the overall solid or nanocomposite - be it mass, charge, or heat. While measured empirically, it has remained largely impossible to take an a priori look at material properties and use those as a guideline to design desired transport behavior. Fundamentally, this is because the structural and electronic changes manifest at those interfaces have remained hidden from examination. Here, we provide experimental evidence that transport behavior in nanocrystal-in-matrix (NIM) composites is dictated primarily by interfacial charge transfer associated with electronic and structural reconstructions as the composite forms. Our approach building continuous composite superlattices serves as a starting point for systematic probing of the nanointerface of NIM composites via ultrathin films. A combination of field effect transistor device characterization and photoemission spectroscopy reveals the systematic dependence of the polarity of charge transfer on the selection of matrix materials in NIM composites. We use this insight to combine, by design,more »« less

Preparation of nanocrystals and nanocomposites of nanocrystal-conjugated polymer, and their photophysical properties in confined geometries

Thesis/Dissertation Xu, Jun

Semiconductors nanocrystals (NCs), also called quantum dots (QDs), have attracted tremendous interest over the past decade in the fields of physics, chemistry, and engineering. Due to the quantum-confined nature of QDs, the variation of particle size provides continuous and predictable changes in fluorescence emission. On the other hand, conjugated polymers (CPs) have been extensively studied for two decades due to their semiconductor-like optical and electronic properties. The electron and energy transfer between NCs and CPs occur in solar cells and light emitting diodes (LEDs), respectively. Placing CPs in direct contact with a NC (i.e., preparing NC-CP nanocomposites) carries advantage overmore »« less

CsPbBr₃ Perovskite Nanocrystal Grown on MXene Nanosheets for Enhanced Photoelectric Detection and Photocatalytic CO₂ Reduction

Journal Article Pan, Aizhao ; Ma, Xiaoqin ; Huang, Shengying ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters

All-inorganic CsPbX₃ (X = Cl, Br or I) perovskite nanocrystals have attracted extensive interest recently due to their exceptional optoelectronic properties. In an effort to improve the charge separation and transfer following efficient exciton generation in such nanocrystals, novel functional nanocomposites were synthesized by the in situ growth of CsPbBr₃ perovskite nanocrystals on two-dimensional MXene nanosheets. Efficient excited state charge transfer occurs between CsPbBr₃ NCs and MXene nanosheets, as indicated by significant photoluminescence (PL) quenching and much shorter PL decay lifetimes compared with pure CsPbBr₃ NCs. The as-obtained CsPbBr₃/MXene nanocomposites demonstrated increased photocurrent generation in response to visible light andmore »« less

Neutron and Gamma-Ray Detectors Based on Quantum Dots

Technical Report Dai, S

Through this funded project, our research group at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory has pioneered and been successful in preparing and evaluating the performance of prototypes of neutron, alpha, and gamma-ray detectors based on various types of nanoparticles. These include organic fluors [2,5-diphenyloxazole (PPO) and 1,4-bis-2-(5-phenyloxazolyl)-benzene (POPOP)]-doped polystyrene and polyvinyltoluene nanoparticles, highly crystalline inorganic ZnS-capped CdSe, ZnS, three-component CdSxSe1-x, Ce3+-doped Y2O3, and Ce3+-doped LaPO4 (LaPO4:Ce) nanocrystals (NCs) in polystyrene (PS) or polyvinyltoluene (PVT). Previously, this effort identified two strong candidate nanoparticles for neutron and gamma detection applications. These two NCs are LaPO4:Ce and CdSxSe1-x (Dai, S. et. al. manuscript inmore »« less

Stable Luminous Nanocomposites of Confined Mn²⁺-Doped Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals in Mesoporous Silica Nanospheres as Orange Fluorophores

Journal Article Pan, Aizhao ; Wu, Youshen ; Yan, Ke ; ... - Inorganic Chemistry

Creating highly stable inorganic perovskite nanocrystals (CsPbX₃, where X = Cl, Br, and I) with excellent optical performance is challenging because their optical properties depend on their ionic structure and its inherent defects. Here, we present a facile and effective synthesis using a nanoconfinement strategy to grow Mn²⁺-doped CsPbCl₃ nanocrystals embedded in dendritic mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs). The resulting nanocomposite is abbreviated as Cs(Pb_x/Mn_1-x)Cl₃@MSNs and can serve as the orange emitter for white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). The MSN matrix was prepared via a templated sol-gel technique as monodispersed center-radial dendritic porous particles, with a diamater of ~105 nm and anmore »« less

Charge Transport Modulation in PbSe Nanocrystal Solids by Au_xAg_1–x Nanoparticle Doping

Journal Article Yang, Haoran ; Wong, Eric ; Zhao, Tianshuo ; ... - ACS Nano

Nanocrystal (NC) solids are an exciting class of materials, whose physical properties are tunable by choice of the NCs as well as the strength of the interparticle coupling. One can consider these NCs as “artificial atoms” in analogy to the formation of condensed matter from atoms. Akin to atomic doping, the doping of a semiconducting NC solid with impurity NCs can drastically alter its electronic properties. A high degree of complexity is possible in these artificial structures by adjusting the size, shape, and composition of the building blocks, which enables “designer” materials with targeted properties. Here, we present the dopingmore »« less
