Quantum Dots: Fundamentals, Synthesis and Applications compiles key information, along with practical guidance on quantum dot synthesis and applications. Beginning with an introduction, Part One highlights such foundational knowledge as growth mechanisms, shape and composition, electrochemical properties, and production scale-up for quantum dots. Part Two goes on to provide practical guides to key chemical, physical and biological methods for the synthesis of quantum dots, with Part Three reviewing the application of quantum dots and a range of important use cases, including photocatalysis, energy cells and medical imaging.
Drawing on the knowledge of its expert authors, this comprehensive book provides practical guidance for all those who already study, develop or use quantum dots in their work.
