Application

Cesium iodide (CsI) can be used as a cathode for the fabrication of field emission cathodes for potential usage in high power microwave systems. It can also be used to form an interface layer between the blocking layer and the perovskite active layer to improve the photovoltaic performance and stability of solar cells.

Features and Benefits

Frequently used in devices such as phosphor screens for medical imaging, scintillators, calorimeters and a variety of particle detectors.

Methods of Synthesizing Monodisperse Colloidal Quantum Dots

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are semiconducting crystals of only a few nanometers (ca. 2–12 nm) coated with ligand/surfactant molecules to help prevent agglomeration.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
