Surface depletion effects in bromide-ligated colloidal cadmium selenide nanoplatelets: toward efficient emission at high temperature

The colloidal semiconductor nanoplatelet (NPL) with broad ligand-semiconductor interface is an ideal system for surface science investigation, but the study regarding depletion effects in NPLs remains lacking. Herein we explore such effects in colloidal CdSe NPLs through Br ligation. Apart from im...
