Colloidal quantum wells (CQWs), a quasi-two-dimensional, atomically-flat sub-family of semiconductor nanocrystals, are well suited to produce excellent devices for photosensing applications thanks to their extraordinarily large absorption cross-sections. In this work, we propose and demonstrate a new class of light-sensitive nanocrystal skins (LS-NS) that employ a monolayer of face-down orientation-controlled self-assembled CQWs as the active absorbing layer in the UV-visible range. This CQW LS-NS platform enables non-conventional photosensing operation that relies on the strong optical absorption of the monolayered assembly of CQWs and the subsequent photogenerated potential build-up across the device, allowing for self-powered operation.

Semiconductor colloidal quantum wells (CQWs) provide anisotropic emission behavior originating from their anisotropic optical transition dipole moments (TDMs). Here, solution-processed colloidal quantum well light-emitting diodes (CQW-LEDs) of a single all-face-down oriented self-assembled monolayer (SAM) film of CQWs that collectively enable a supreme level of IP TDMs at 92% in the ensemble emission are shown. This significantly enhances the outcoupling efficiency from 22% (of standard randomly-oriented emitters) to 34% (of face-down oriented emitters) in the LED.

A chiral polythiophene surfactant based on poly(3-()-2-methylbutylthiophene) (()-P3MBT) with a semifluoroalkyl group at one end of the main chain was synthesized and used to form surface-segregated monolayers (SSMs). Films of pure ()-P3MBT mainly adopted the edge-on orientation, whereas ()-P3MBT films with a SSM of the polymer surfactant ()-P3MBT-F contained a large proportion of end-on-oriented polythiophene, both at the surface and inside the films. The thin films with the SSM showed circular dichroism signals, with the sign opposite to those observed in ()-P3MBT films.

An important advance in biosensor research is the extension and application of laboratory-developed methodologies toward clinical diagnostics, though the propensity toward nonspecific binding of materials in clinically relevant matrices, such as human blood serum and plasma, frequently leads to compromised assays. Several surface chemistries have been developed to minimize nonspecific interactions of proteins and other biological components found within blood and serum samples, though these often exhibit substantially variable outcomes. Herein we report a surface chemistry consisting of a charged-matched supported lipid membrane that has been tailored to form over a gold surface functionalized with protein A.

We proposed and showed strongly orientation-controlled Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) to highly anisotropic CdSe nanoplatelets (NPLs). For this purpose, we developed a liquid-air interface self-assembly technique specific to depositing a complete monolayer of NPLs only in a single desired orientation, either fully stacked (edge-up) or fully nonstacked (face-down), with near-unity surface coverage and across large areas over 20 cm. These NPL monolayers were employed as acceptors in an energy transfer working model system to pair with CdZnS/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) as donors.
