Neural network modeling and simulation of the synthesis of CuInS2/ZnS quantum dots

Abstract The development of recipes for synthesis of quantum dots (QDs), a novel semiconductor material for application in optoelectronic devices, is currently purely based on experiments. Since the quality of QDs represented by quantum yield (QY) and emission peak strongly depends on a number of di...

description Abstract The development of recipes for synthesis of quantum dots (QDs), a novel semiconductor material for application in optoelectronic devices, is currently purely based on experiments. Since the quality of QDs represented by quantum yield (QY) and emission peak strongly depends on a number of different parameters (route, precursors, conditions, etc), a large number of experiments is necessary. In this article, we show that data‐driven modeling can be used as a supporting tool for optimization and a better understanding of the synthesis process. By using the results collected during the development of CuInS2/ZnS (CIS/ZnS) QDs, a neural network model has been established. The model is able to predict the optical properties (QY and emission peak) of CIS/ZnS QDs as a function of the most important synthesis parameters, such as reaction temperature, time of CIS core formation and ZnS shell growth, feed molar ratio of Cu/In and Zn/Cu, various starting precursors, and types of ligands. Finally, a model analysis under various effects influencing the quality of QDs is performed.
