Semiconductor nanocrystals (SNCs) are a class of material with one dimension <100 nm, which display size, shape, and composition dependent photophysical (absorption and emission) properties. Ultrasmall SNCs are a special class of SNCs whose diameter is <3.0 nm and are strongly quantum confined leading to a high surface to volume ratio. Therefore, their electronic and photophysical properties are fundamentally dictated by their surface chemistry, and as such, even a minute variation of the surface ligation can have a colossal impact on these properties. Since the development of the hot injection-method by Bawendi et al., the synthetic methods of SNCs have evolved from high-temperature, highly toxic precursors to low-temperature, relatively benign precursors over the last 25 years. Unfortunately, optimization of their synthetic methods by appropriate surface ligation is still deficient.

Semiconductor nanocrystals (SNCs) are a class of material with one dimension <100 nm, which display size, shape, and composition dependent photophysical (absorption and emission) properties. Ultrasmall SNCs are a special class of SNCs whose diameter is <3.0 nm and are strongly quantum confined leading to a high surface to volume ratio. Therefore, their electronic and photophysical properties are fundamentally dictated by their surface chemistry, and as such, even a minute variation of the surface ligation can have a colossal impact on these properties. Since the development of the hot injection-method by Bawendi et al., the synthetic methods of SNCs have evolved from high-temperature, highly toxic precursors to low-temperature, relatively benign precursors over the last 25 years. Unfortunately, optimization of their synthetic methods by appropriate surface ligation is still deficient.

The deficiency lies in the incomplete or inappropriate surface passivation during the synthesis and/or post-synthetic modification procedure, which due to the high surface to volume ratio of ultrasmall SNCs, is a significant problem. Currently, direct synthetic methods produce SNCs that are either soluble in an aqueous media or soluble in organic solvents therefore limiting their applicability. In addition, use of insulating ligands hinder SNCs' transport properties and thus their potential application in solid state devices. Appropriate choice of surface ligation can provide 1) solubility, 2) stability, and 3) facilitate exciton delocalization.

In this dissertation, the effects of appropriate surface ligation on strongly quantum confined ultrasmall SNCs was investigated. Due to their high surface to volume ratio, we are able to highly control their optical and electronic properties through surface ligand modification. Throughout this dissertation, we utilized a variety of ligands (e.g. oleylamine, cadmium benzoate, and PEGn-thiolate) in order to change the solubility of the SNC as well as investigate their optical and electronic properties. First delocalization of the excitonic wave function 1) into the ligand monolayer using metal carboxylates and 2) beyond the ligand monolayer to provide strong inter-SNC electronic coupling using poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG)-thiolate was explored. Passivation of the Se sites of metal chalcogenide SNCs by metal carboxylates provided a two-fold outcome: (1) facilitating the delocalization of exciton wave functions into ligand monolayers (through appropriate symmetry matching and energy alignment) and (2) increasing fluorescence quantum yield (through passivation of midgap trap states). An ∼240 meV red-shift in absorbance was observed upon addition of Cd(O2CPh)2, as well as a ∼260 meV shift in emission with an increase in PL-QY to 73%. Through a series of control experiments, as well as full reversibility of our system, we were able to conclude that the observed bathochromic shifts were the sole consequence of delocalization, not a change in size or relaxation of the inorganic core, as previously reported. Furthermore, the outstanding increase in PL-QY was found to be a product of both passivation and delocalization effects.

Next we used poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG)-thiolate ligands to passivate the SNC and provide unique solubility properties in both aqueous and organic solvents as well as utilized their highly conductive nature to explore inter-SNC electronic coupling. The electronic coupling was studied: 1) as a function of SNC size where the smallest SNC exhibited the largest coupling energy (170 meV) and 2) as a function of annealing temperature, where an exceptionally large (∼400 meV) coupling energy was observed. This strong electronic coupling in self-organized films could facilitate the large-scale production of highly efficient electronic materials for advanced optoelectronic device applications.

Strong inter-SNC electronic coupling together with high solubility, such as that provided by PEG-thiolate-coated CdSe SNCs, can increase the stability of SNCs during solution-phase electrochemical characterization. Therefore, we utilized these properties to characterize solution-state electrochemical properties and photocatalytic activity of ternary copper indium diselenide (CuInSe2) SNCs as a function of their size and surface ligand chemistry. Electrochemical characterization of our PEG-thiolate-coated SNCs showed that the thermodynamic driving force (-?G) for oxygen reduction, which increased with decreasing bandgap, was a major contributor to the overall photocatalytic reaction. Additionally, phenol degradation efficiency was monitored in which the smallest diameter SNC and shortest chain length of PEG provided the highest efficiency. The information provided herein could be used to produce superior SNC photocatalysts for a variety of applications including oxidation of organic contaminants, conversion of water to hydrogen gas, and decomposition of crude oil or pesticides. Therefore, we believe our work will significantly advance quantitative electrochemical characterization of SNCs and allow for the design of highly efficient, sustainable photocatalysts resulting in economic and environmental benefits.
