  • Quantum dots made using phosphine
    Patent number: 9343301
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for producing quantum dots (QDs) by reacting one or more core semiconductor precursors with phosphine in the presence of a molecular cluster compound. The core semiconductor precursor(s) provides elements that are incorporated into the QD core semiconductor material. The core semiconductor also incorporates phosphorus, which is provided by the phosphine. The phosphine may be provided to the reaction as a gas or may, alternatively, be provided as an adduct of another material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 12, 2014
    Date of Patent: May 17, 2016
    Assignee: Nanoco Technologies Ltd.
    Inventors: James Harris, Nigel Pickett, Abdur-Rehman Irshad, Martin Davis, Paul Glarvey, Nathalie Gresty, Heather Yates
