An international team of researchers (Singapore, China) has developed a cheaper and more scalable bottom-up synthesis strategy that can consistently construct TMD QDs (transition metal dichalcogenide quantum dots) of a specific size and properties. To demonstrate the proof-of-concept they synthesised MoS2 QDs with specific properties for biomedical applications. They have successfully synthesised a small library of seven TMD QDs and were able to alter their electronic and optical properties accordingly. They process can be used to optimize TMD QDs for applications such as the next generation TV and electronic device screens, advanced electronics components and even solar cells… read more.
