Published: September 2019

Synthesizing quantum dots (QDs) using simple methods and utilizing them in optoelectronic devices are active areas of research. In this paper, we fabricated SnSe QDs via sonication and a laser ablation process. Deionized water was used as a solvent, and there were no organic chemicals introduced in the process. It was a facile and environmentally-friendly method. We demonstrated an ultraviolet (UV)-detector based on monolayer graphene and SnSe QDs. The photoresponsivity of the detector was up to 7.5 × 10 mAW, and the photoresponse time was ~0.31 s. The n-n heterostructures between monolayer graphene and SnSe QDs improved the light absorption and the transportation of photocarriers, which could greatly increase the photoresponsivity of the device.

Non-radiative recombination losses limit the property of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, a synergistic strategy of SnSeQDs doping into SnO and chlorhexidine acetate (CA) coating on the surface of perovskite is proposed. The introduction of 2D SnSeQDs reduces the oxygen vacancy defects and increases the carrier mobility of SnO.

A sandwich-type photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor was constructed on a screen-printed electrode (SPE) using gold-coated tin selenide quantum dots (Au-SnSe QDs) to determine the carbohydrate antigen 19 9 (CA19-9). Water-soluble Au-SnSe QDs were prepared by coating low-cost SnSe QDs, prepared by reacting tin(II) 2-ethyl hexanoate with selenium ions (HNaSe) without needing to add an external capping agent (SnSe QDs). SnSe-based QDs were characterized using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS).

Solar-driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) hydrogen production is one of the most effective strategies for solar-to-hydrogen energy conversion. Among various types of semiconductors used for PEC anodes, colloidal quantum dots (QDs) have been widely used as new and promising absorbers for PEC and other optoelectronic devices. However, currently, most efficient optoelectronic devices contain toxic Pb/Cd elements or non-earth-abundant elements (In/Ag).
