Fig. 3. Cadmium-carboxylate concentration-dependent PL and EL properties of the CdSe/CdS QDs.

Fig. 3

a FTIR spectra of the as-synthesized CdSe/CdS-Cd(RCOO)2 QDs (red) and the completely surface-treated CdSe/CdS-RNH2 QDs (black). Vibration bands of RNH2 and Cd(RCOO)2 are labeled as νN-H and νCOO-, respectively. b Residual carboxylate percentages and PL QY of the CdSe/CdS core/shell QDs in solution vs. different concentration of primary amine used in the ligand-exchange procedures. c PL QY of the QD films, IQE of the QLEDs, operational lifetime of the QLEDs, and voltage gap of the QLEDs vs. the residual percentage of carboxylate ligands identified by FTIR.
