Abstract: A template-assisted method for the synthesis of 2D nanosheets comprises growing a 2D material on the surface of a nanoparticle substrate that acts as a template for nanosheet growth. The 2D nanosheets may then be released from the template surface, e.g. via chemical intercalation and exfoliation, purified, and the templates may be reused.

Abstract: LED devices emitting white light comprise a blue-emitting LED, green-emitting quantum dots (QDs) and red-emitting K2SiF6:Mn4+ (KSF) phosphor. A backlight unit (BLU) for a liquid crystal display (LCD) comprises one or more blue-emitting LEDs and a polymer film containing green-emitting QDs and KSF phosphor. The QDs and/or KSF phosphor may be encapsulated in beads that provide protection from oxygen and/or moisture.

Abstract: Organically capped quantum dots are made by functionalizing the surfaces of QDs of various architectures with a combination of 6-mercaptohexanol (MCH) and 2-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)-ethoxy]-acetic acid (MEEAA). Such MCH/MEEAA-capped QDs exhibit improved compatibility with solvents used in the fabrication of QD-containing films of light emitting devices, such as liquid crystal displays.

Abstract: A core/shell semiconductor nanoparticle structure comprises a core comprising a halide perovskite semiconductor and a shell comprising a semiconductor material that is not a halide perovskite (and that is substantially free of halide perovskites). The halide perovskite semiconductor core may be of the form AMX3, wherein: A is an organic ammonium such as CH3NH3+, (C8H17)2(CH3NH3)+, PhC2H4NH3+, C6H11CH2NH3+ or 1-adamantyl methyl ammonium, an amidinium such as CH(NH2)2+, or an alkali metal cation such as Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+ or Cs+; M is a divalent metal cation such as Mg2+, Mn2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Pb2+, Sn2+, Zn2+, Ge2+, Eu2+, Cu2+ or Cd2+; and X is a halide anion (F?, Cl?, Br?, I?) or a combination of halide anions.
