Quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) have been considered as potential display technologies with the characterizations of high color purity, flexibility, transparency, and cost efficiency. For the practical applications, the development of heavy-metal-free QD-LEDs from environment-friendly materials is the most important issue to reduce the impacts on human health and environmental pollution. In this work, heavy-metal-free InP/ZnS core/shell QDs with different fluorescence were prepared by green synthesis method with low cost, safe, and environment-friendly precursors. The InP/ZnS core/shell QDs with maximum fluorescence peak at ~ 530 nm, superior fluorescence quantum yield of 60.1%, and full width at half maximum of 55 nm were applied as an emission layer to fabricate multilayered QD-LEDs. The multilayered InP/ZnS core/shell QD-LEDs showed the turn-on voltage at ~ 5 V, the highest luminance (160 cd/m) at 12 V, and the external quantum efficiency of 0.223% at 6.7 V. Overall, the multilayered InP/ZnS core/shell QD-LEDs reveal potential to be the heavy-metal-free QD-LEDs for future display applications.

High-performance, environmentally friendly indium phosphide (InP)-based quantum dots (QDs) are urgently needed to meet the demands of rapidly evolving display and lighting technologies. By adopting the highly efficient and cost-effective one-pot method and utilizing aluminum isopropoxide (AIP) as the Al source, a series of Al-doped InP/(Al)ZnS QDs with emission maxima ranging from 480 to 627 nm were synthesized. The photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of the blue, green, yellow, orange, and red QDs, with emission peaks at 480, 509, 560, 600, and 627 nm, reached 34%, 62%, 86%, 96%, and 85%, respectively.

In this work, we report the synthesis of high-quality, nontoxic InP/ZnS core-shell quantum dots (QDs). The temperature-dependent optical properties such as photoluminescence (PL), absorption, and PL decay with time have been investigated. Based on the temperature dependence of optical properties of QDs, three different configurations of temperature sensors using PMMA as the QD host material were fabricated.

The utilization of InP-based biocompatible quantum dots (QDs) necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the structure-dependent characteristics influencing their optical behavior. The optimization of core/shell QDs for practical applications is of particular interest due to their reduced toxicity, enhanced photostability, and improved luminescence efficiency. This optimization involves analyzing thermally activated processes involving exciton and defect-related energy levels.

Quantum dots (QDs) inhibit fish hatching, but the mechanism is still unclear. In this study, the effect of Indium phosphide/zinc sulfide quantum dots (InP/ZnS QDs) on the embryo incubation of rare minnow was investigated. Five experimental concentration groups were set up according to the preliminary experimental results, which were 0, 50, 100, 200 and 400 nM.

We investigate the role of quantum confinement and photoluminescence (PL) lifetime of photoexcited charge carriers in semiconductor core/shell quantum dots (QDs) PL quenching due to surface modification. Surface modification is controlled by varying the number of dye molecules adsorbed onto the QD shell surface forming QD-dye nanoassemblies. We selected CuInS/ZnS (CIS) and InP/ZnS (InP) core/shell QDs exhibiting relatively weak (664 meV) and strong (1194 meV) confinement potentials for the conduction band electron.
