研究目的
Investigating the optical properties of colloidal quantum dot superlattice films, specifically focusing on the carrier lifetime and the effect of a pyramidal-microhole-array template on the formation of large area QD superlattice.
研究成果
The study demonstrated that colloidal QD superlattice films exhibit longer carrier lifetimes due to carrier delocalization in intermediate bands, with the template significantly aiding in the formation of large area superlattices. This suggests potential for improved performance in QD-based solar cells, though further research is needed to optimize QD uniformity and ligand length for broader application.
研究不足
The study was limited by the uniformity of QD sizes and the length of the ligand used, which affected the formation of intermediate bands and the carrier lifetime. The template's assistance in forming large area QD superlattice was evident, but achieving uniform superlattice formation across all states remains a challenge.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the fabrication of colloidal QD superlattice films by depositing faceted PbS QDs on a pyramidal-microhole-array template and a flat substrate in solution. The optical properties of these films were then investigated.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Synthesized PbS QDs were used, and films were prepared on both a template and a flat substrate under different sedimentation times.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), photoluminescence (PL) measurement setup with a monochromator and multichannel photodetector, and a time correlated single photon counting module for emission lifetime measurements.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
QDs were synthesized, deposited on substrates under controlled conditions, and their optical properties were measured using PL and time-resolved PL techniques.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The emission decay curves were analyzed to determine carrier lifetimes, and PL spectra were examined for shifts indicating carrier delocalization.
