Method for obtaining an n-type doped metal chalcogenide quantum dot solid-state film, and an optoelectronic device comprising the obtained film

Abstract

Provided are methods for obtaining n-type doped metal chalcogenide quantum dot solid-state films. In some embodiments, the methods include forming an metal chalcogenide quantum dot solid-state film, carrying out a n-doping process on the metal chalcogenide quantum dots of the metal chalcogenide quantum dot solid-state film so that they exhibit intraband absorption, wherein the process includes partially substituting chalcogen atoms by halogen atoms in the metal chalcogenide quantum dots and providing a substance on the plurality of metal chalcogenide quantum dots, to avoid oxygen p-doping of the metal chalcogenide quantum dots. Also provided are optoelectronic devices, which in some embodiments can include an n-type doped metal chalcogenide quantum dot solid-state film (A) obtained by a method as disclosed herein and first (E1) and second (E2) electrodes in physical contact with two respective distanced regions of the film (A).
