- Abstract
- We address the relation between surface chemistry and optoelectronic properties in semiconductor nanocrystals using core/crown CdSe/CdS nanoplatelets passivated by cadmium oleate (Cd(Ol)(2)) as model systems. We show that addition of butylamine to a nanoplatelet (NPL) dispersion maximally displaces similar to 40% of the original Cd(Ol)(2) capping. On the basis of density functional theory simulations, we argue that this behavior reflects the preferential displacement of Cd(Ol)(2) from (near)-edge surface sites. Opposite from CdSe core NPLs, core/crown NPL dispersions can retain 45% of their initial photoluminescence efficiency after ligand displacement, while radiative exciton recombination keeps dominating the luminescent decay. Using electron microscopy observations, we assign this robust photoluminescence to NPLs with a complete CdS crown, which prevents charge carrier trapping in the near-edge surface sites created by ligand displacement. We conclude that Z-type ligands such as cadmium carboxylates can provide full electronic passivation of (100) facets yet are prone to displacement from near-edge surface sites.
