Abstract

Uniform close packing in colloidal quantum dot solids is critical for high-optical density, high-mobility optoelectronic devices. A hybrid-ligand strategy is developed, combining the advantages of solid state and solution-phase ligand exchanges. This strategy uses a medium length thioamide ligand that is readily cleaved in a single chemical treatment, leading to quantum dot solids with uniformly packed domains 3 times larger than those observed in ligand-exchanged films.
