Abstract
Advances in colloidal quantum dots
The confinement found in colloidal semiconductor quantum dots enables the design of materials with tunable properties. García de Arquer et al . review the recent advances in methods for synthesis and surface functionalization of quantum dots that enable fine tuning of their optical, chemical, and electrical properties. These important developments have driven the commercialization of display and lighting applications and provide promising developments in the related fields of lasing and sensing. —MSL
