Abstract:
The present study reports an aqueous synthesis approach towards off-stoichiometric copper indium sulfide quantum dots with emissions in the near-infrared spectral range. The photoluminescence properties of the dots, and in particular the appearance of dual emission at high Cu deficiency, were studied with temperature-dependent steady-state and transient photoluminescence spectroscopy.
