Crystalline Semiconductor Boron Quantum Dots
摘要： Zero-dimensional boron structures have always been the focus of theoretical research owing to its abundant phase structures and special properties. Boron clusters have been reported extensively by combining structure searching theories and photoelectron spectroscopy experiments, however, crystalline boron quantum dots (BQDs) have rarely been reported. Here we report the preparation of large-scale and uniform crystalline semiconductor BQDs from the expanded bulk boron powders via a facile and efficient probe ultrasonic approach in acetonitrile solution. The obtained BQDs have 2.46 nm in an average lateral size and 2.81 nm in thickness. Optical measurements demonstrate that strong quantum confinement effect occurs in the BQDs, implying the increase of the bandgap from 1.80 eV for the corresponding bulk to 2.46 eV for the BQDs. By injecting the BQDs into polyvinylpyrrolidone as an active layer, a BQDs-based memory device is fabricated which shows a rewriteable nonvolatile memory effect with a low transition voltage of down to 0.5 V and a high ON/OFF switching ratio of 103 as well as a good stability.

Bulk Assembly of Corrugated 1D Metal Halides with Broadband Yellow Emission
摘要： The family of molecular level low-dimensional organic metal halide hybrids has expanded significantly over the last few years. Here a new type of 1D metal halide structure is reported, in which metal halide octahedra form a corrugated double-chain structure via nonplanar edge-sharing. This material with a chemical formula of C5H16N2Pb2Br6 exhibits a broadband yellow emission under ultraviolet light excitation with a photoluminescence quantum efficiency of around 10%. The light-yellow emission is considered to be attributed to self-trapping excitons. Theoretical calculations show that the unique alignment of the octahedra leads to small band dispersion and large exciton binding energy. Together with previously reported 1D metal halide wires and tubes, this new bulk assembly of 1D metal halides suggests the potential to develop a library of bulk assemblies of metal halides with controlled structures and compositions.

Quantum size effect and surface defect passivation in size-controlled CsPbBr3 quantum dots
摘要： Luminescent CsPbBr3 quantum dots (QDs) with adjustable size and bandgap were grown by controlling the synthesis temperature in this paper. As the synthesis temperature increases, the QD size becomes larger and then smaller. The corresponding absorption and steady-state photoluminescence spectrum indicate that the QD band gap becomes smaller and then larger, which is a typical quantum confinement effect. Time-resolved photoluminescence spectrum and femtosecond transient absorption spectrum (fs-TAS) show that the non-radiative recombination probability of photocarriers in small QDs is small it has few defects, indicating that the ligand molecules adsorbed on the surface of QDs effectively passivate the surface defects of CsPbBr3. Finally, the hot-phonon bottleneck effect of CsPbBr3 QDs is revealed by the kinetic curves fitting of fs-TAS and the cooling kinetic process of hot carriers is also discussed in detail. This work provides new insights on size-dependent photophysical properties of CsPbBr3 QDs.

The mechanochemical synthesis of PbTe nanostructures: following the Ostwald ripening effect during milling
摘要： A fundamental understanding of the Ostwald ripening effect (ORE) during the mechanochemical synthesis of PbTe nanostructures is presented. The ripening process involves the coarsening of larger particles from those of smaller size; this phenomenon was systematically evaluated at different stages of milling by microscopy analyses (AFM, TEM, STEM and HRTEM). At the early stage of milling, smaller particles and quantum dots are eventually dissolved to lower the total energy associated with their surfaces. The ripening process – during milling – involves short-range mass transfer among particles. HRTEM analyses allowed us to identify that coarsening occurs by thermo-mechanically activated cooperative mechanisms. The detachment of the atoms from smaller particles to form bigger ones plays a major role in the particle coarsening. It was found that the coarsening process was not limited to crystalline nanostructures; so grain boundaries, edge dislocations and boundaries among crystalline and amorphous phases also play an important role to determine how species migration contributes to generate coarse particles. Those serve as sites for inducing coarsening in an equivalent way as surfaces do. Secondary ion mass spectrometry and elemental chemical mapping (EDX-STEM) revealed that both the purity and the chemical homogeneity of the PbTe nanostructures are prominent features of this material. Additionally, a direct band gap enhancement (780 nm) compared to bulk PbTe (3859 nm) was detected. It occurred due to the quantum confinement effect, lattice imperfections and even surface properties of the nanostructures. It is important to point out that the whole optical behaviour of the PbTe nanostructures was dependent upon the embedded nanoparticles and quantum dots in the clusters and coarse particles ranging from 15 nm to 35 nm.

Role of nitrogen doped carbon quantum dots on CuO nano-leaves as solar induced photo catalyst
摘要： A p-type transition metal oxide, copper oxide (CuO) was modified with nitrogen doped carbon quantum dots (NCQDs) to fabricate an effective CuO/NCQDs solar driven photo catalyst. The fabrication of single phase monoclinic CuO was confirmed by XRD. SEM images showed the leaf like morphology for CuO which appeared rough and densely packed in CuO/NCQDs composites. TEM images of CuO/NCQDs shows slightly distorted nano-leaves with NCQDs dispersed on them. HRTEM of CuO/NCQDs shows fringes with characteristic planes confirming that the addition of NCQDs has not distorted the crystal structure of CuO. SAED of CuO/NCQDs further confirms the crystalline nature of the as synthesized composite photo catalyst by exhibiting bright diffraction rings. These results further supported the XRD data. EDS spectra of NCQDs and CuO/NCQDs confirm the formation of pure nitrogen doped carbon quantum dots and Cu, N, C and O atoms confirming that NCQDs are well incorporated on CuO Nano leaves. UV-Vis spectra showed a slight increase of band gap energies due to quantum confinement effects. PL spectra exhibited decreased photoluminescence intensity indicating suppression of recombination rate. The developed photocatalyst was applied for the degradation of harmful dye methyl orange. The composite catalyst showed superior degradation efficiency as compared to pure CuO nano-leaves attributed to enhanced visible light absorption and better charge separation ability due to introduction of NCQDs.

Facile Preparation of Molybdenum Disulfide Quantum Dots Using a Femtosecond Laser
摘要： Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is rapidly emerging in a wide range of applications owing to its superior optical, electrical, and catalytic properties. In particular, aside from the current great interest in monolayer MoS2, MoS2 quantum dots (QDs) have received much attention in the electronics and optoelectronics fields owing to their inherent electrical and optical properties arising from the quantum confinement effect. Thus, various methods for producing MoS2 QDs, such as exfoliation, substrate growth, and colloidal synthesis, have been attempted. In this study, the method for manufacturing MoS2 QD with a size of 10 nm which is simpler than the conventional method was devised. On the basis of characterization of the prepared MoS2 QD samples, resistive switching devices was fabricated. These devices demonstrated stable unipolar resistive switching behavior without an electroforming process. This study provides a new approach for the mass production of MoS2 QD and one of their potential applications.
