AgInS-ZnS Quantum Dots: Excited State Interactions with TiO and Photovoltaic Performance.

Multinary quantum dots such as AgInS and alloyed AgInS-ZnS are an emerging class of semiconductor materials for applications in photovoltaic and display devices. The nanocrystals of (AgInS)-(ZnS) (for x = 0.67) exhibit a broad emission with a maximum at 623 nm and interact strongly with TiO nanostructures by injecting electrons from the excited state.
