Zwitterion-derived ligand-coated ZnO quantum dots engineered via an organometallic approach
Abstract
We report an organometallic synthesis of ZnO QDs with zwitterionic ligands, showing that the ligand type and synthetic conditions control size, surface passivation, and PLQY (up to 41.8%), highlighting their potential as luminescent nanomaterials.
