△ [6p-A501-14] High hole mobility in PbS Colloidal Quantum Dot Assemblies
Keywords:quantum dots, high hole mobility, P-type
Quantum dot (QD) doping is very important for many applications such as solar cells, light emitting diode (LED), thermoelectrics and so on. While n-type QD films have been successfully obtained by capping with ligands such as hydrazine and halide ions (I-, Br-, Cl-), p-type QD films have so far mostly been obtained via oxidation in ambient conditions, which is hard to control. Here we demonstrate a new ligand 2,5-thiophene dicarboxylic acid, which gives lead sulfide (PbS) QDs a p-type behavior with the highest hole mobility of 0.02 cm2V-1s-1 (in SiO2-gated field effect transistors) reported for PbS QDs which may be useful for constructing high-performance QD-based devices including photovoltaic ones.
