Quantum Dots/One-Dimensional (1D) Composites

Quantum dots are tiny semiconductor structures that have unique electronic and optical properties due to their small size and quantum confinement effects. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in combining quantum dots with one-dimensional materials, such as nanowires and carbon nanotubes, to create novel composite materials with enhanced properties. These composites have potential applications in a variety of fields, including optoelectronics, sensing, and energy conversion. The integration of quantum dots with one-dimensional (1D) materials can lead to improvements in charge transfer, light absorption, emission, and tunability of electronic and optical properties. The current chapter provides an overview of recent research on quantum dot/1D material composites and their potential applications.
