Abstract

Controlling the dispersibility of nanocrystalline inorganic quantum dots (QDs) within organic semiconductor (OSC):QD nanocomposite films is critical for a wide range of optoelectronic devices. This work demonstrates how small changes to the OSC host molecule can have a dramatic detrimental effect on QD dispersibility within the host organic semiconductor matrix as quantified by grazing incidence X-ray scattering. It is commonplace to modify QD surface chemistry to enhance QD dispersibility within an OSC host. Here, an alternative route toward optimizing QD dispersibilities is demonstrated, which dramatically improves QD dispersibilities through blending two different OSCs to form a fully mixed OSC matrix phase.
