This cross-journal collection is dedicated to showcasing the exciting research on quantum dots published with the Royal Society of Chemistry over the last 20 years, in honour of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry awarded to Professor Moungi G. Bawendi (MIT, USA), Professor Louis E. Brus (Columbia University, USA) and Professor Aleksey Yekimov (Nanocrystals Technology Inc., USA).
Quantum dots have been successfully implemented in a broad range of technologies and applications, and show great future potential to drive a sustainable global energy transition, for example contributing to the development of flexible electronics and thinner solar cells.
We are excited to highlight some of the innovative work included in this collection from our Energy & Environment open access journals:
