Bifunctional Metal Oleate as an Alternative Method to Remove Surface Oxide and Passivate Surface Defects of Aminophosphine-Based InP Quantum Dots

The optical properties of indium phosphide (InP) quantum dots (QDs) are significantly influenced by their surface native oxides, which are generally removed by treating InP cores with hydrofluoric acid (HF). Besides the harmful health effects of HF, its etching may cause over-etching or QD size broa...
