A method of making a semiconductor nanocrystal composite, comprising:
- providing a semiconductor nanocrystal composition comprising a semiconductor nanocrystal core;
- providing a surfactant on the outer surface of the semiconductor nanocrystal composition;
- and
- replacing the surfactant with an inorganic matrix material, wherein the semiconductor nanocrystal composite emits light at wavelengths from about 1 to about 10 microns and the inorganic matrix material comprises an outer surface of the semiconductor nanocrystal composite.
A semiconductor nanocrystal composite comprising:
- a semiconductor nanocrystal composition dispersed in an inorganic matrix material, wherein the semiconductor nanocrystal composite emits light at a peak wavelength from about 1 to about 10 microns and wherein the inorganic matrix material is in contact with an outer surface of the nanocrystal composition and forms an outer surface of the nanocrystal composite.
