ZINC TELLURIUM SELENIUM BASED QUANTUM DOT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18105911 titled 'ZINC TELLURIUM SELENIUM BASED QUANTUM DOT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a core-shell quantum dot that consists of a core made of a semiconductor nanocrystal material and a shell made of a semiconductor nanocrystal material. The core-shell quantum dot does not contain cadmium but includes zinc, tellurium, selenium, and aluminum.

  • The core-shell quantum dot is made of a first semiconductor nanocrystal material.
  • The quantum dot has a shell made of a different semiconductor nanocrystal material.
  • The quantum dot does not contain cadmium.
  • The quantum dot contains zinc, tellurium, selenium, and aluminum.

Potential Applications

  • Optoelectronic devices
  • Solar cells
  • Light-emitting diodes (LEDs)
  • Biological imaging

Problems Solved

  • Eliminates the use of cadmium, which is toxic and environmentally harmful.
  • Provides an alternative to traditional core-shell quantum dots.

Benefits

  • Safer and more environmentally friendly compared to cadmium-based quantum dots.
  • Offers potential for improved performance in optoelectronic devices.
  • Enables the development of new applications in various fields.
