Abstract

Metallic nanoparticles tailor the electronic properties of PbS colloidal quantum dots in a post-synthetic, all solution-processable approach. The Fermi level of the resulting nanocomposites can be tuned from p- to n-type due to remote charge transfer and electron trap state passivation. This concurrently reduces dark current, improves time response, and increases sensitivity in PbS photoconductors, yielding an over-two-fold increase in detectivity.
