Laser Ablation In Liquid For The Controlled Production Of Photoluminescent Graphene Quantum Dots And Upconverting Nanoparticles, Rosemary Lynn Calabro Jan 2020

Laser Ablation In Liquid For The Controlled Production Of Photoluminescent Graphene Quantum Dots And Upconverting Nanoparticles, Rosemary Lynn Calabro

Theses and Dissertations--Chemistry

Photoluminescent­ (PL) nanomaterials play an important role in areas including displays, sensing, solar, photocatalysis, and bio applications. Traditional methods to prepare PL materials suffer many drawbacks such as harsh chemical precursors, complicated synthetic steps, and production of many byproducts. Laser ablation in liquid (LAL) has emerged as a promising alternative to prepare materials that is single-step, fast, uses fewer precursors, produces fewer side products, and has simple purification steps. During LAL, a solid target is irradiated with a pulsed laser source. The laser pulses cause plasma plumes of the target material to form which are cooled, condensed, and can react …


Designing Metal-Halide Perovskites With Enhanced Optical Properties And Stability Using Surface Ligands, Md Aslam Uddin Jan 2020

Designing Metal-Halide Perovskites With Enhanced Optical Properties And Stability Using Surface Ligands, Md Aslam Uddin

Theses and Dissertations--Chemistry

Metal-halide perovskites (MHPs), with formula ABX3 (A = methylammonium, formamidinium, or Cs+; B = Sn2+ or Pb2+; and X = Cl-, Br-, or I-) are versatile and attractive materials because of their tunable optical and electronic properties. These optical and electronic properties include tunable direct band gaps, high absorption coefficients, low exciton binding energies, relatively high electron and hole mobilities, narrow emission line-widths, and high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yields (ΦPL). Much of the initial excitement around organic metal-halide perovskites focused on their application in photovoltaics (PVs) …
