In particular, by alloying zinc telluride (ZnTe ... most promising candidates for cadmium-free blue QDs. By combining the advantages of InP and ZnSe quantum dots while overcoming their limitations ...

In the early stages of developing quantum dot TVs, cadmium was essential to achieving the key benefits of quantum dots such as colour reproduction and contrast ratio. At the time, cadmium was ...

While toxic heavy-metals (like lead or mercury) have typically been used, quantum dots can also be made with environmentally friendly materials such as silver telluride (Ag 2 Te). In fact ...

US scientists have applied bandgap gradient to a cadmium telluride PV cell for the first ... and photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) measurements.” This content is protected by copyright ...

The biggest risk with Nanoco is that the quantum dots fail to become industry standard. However, both the tie-up with Dow and ever-tightening regulation of cadmium are encouraging. And, should Nanoco ...
