Long-Range Charge Transport via Redox Ligands in Quantum Dot Assemblies

We present a strategy to actively engineer long-range charge transport in colloidal quantum dot assemblies by using ligand functionalities that introduce electronic states and provide a path for carrier transfer. This is a shift away from the use of inactive spacers to modulate charge transport through the lowering of the tunneling barrier...

On the Stability of Permanent Electrochemical Doping of Quantum Dot, Fullerene, and Conductive Polymer Films in Frozen Electrolytes for Use in Semiconductor Devices

Semiconductor films that allow facile ion transport can be electronically doped via electrochemistry, where the amount of injected charge can be controlled by the potential applied. To apply electrochemical doping to the design of semiconductor devices, the injected charge has to be stabilized to avoid unintentional relaxation back to the...
