The quantum-dot-in-perovskite matrix (DIM) is an emerging class of semiconductors for optoelectronics enabled by their complementary charge transport properties and stability improvements. However, a detailed understanding of the pure electrical properties in DIM is still in its early stage. Here, we developed PbS quantum dot-in-CsSnI matrix solids exhibiting improved electrical properties and enhanced stability.

The synthesis of highly monodispersed InAs colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) is needed in InAs CQD-based optoelectronic devices. Because of the complexities of working with arsenic precursors such as tris-trimethylsilyl arsine ((TMSi)As) and tris-trimethylgermyl arsine ((TMGe)As), several attempts have been made to identify new candidates for synthesis; yet, to date, only the aforementioned two highly reactive precursors have led to excellent photodetector device performance. We begin the present study by investigating the mechanism, finding that the use of the cosurfactant dioctylamine plays a crucial role in producing monodispersed InAs populations.

In this article, a patient monitoring system is proposed that is able to obtain heart rate and oxygen saturation (SpO) levels of patients, identify abnormal conditions, and inform emergency status to the nurses. The proposed monitoring system consists of smart patient wristbands, smart nurse wristbands, central monitoring user interface (UI) software, and a wireless communication network. In the proposed monitoring system, a unique smart wristband is dedicated to each of the patients and nurses.

Heavy-metal-free III-V colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are promising materials for solution-processed short-wave infrared (SWIR) photodetectors. Recent progress in the synthesis of indium antimonide (InSb) CQDs with sizes smaller than the Bohr exciton radius enables quantum-size effect tuning of the band gap. However, it has been challenging to achieve uniform InSb CQDs with band gaps below 0.
