Colloidal Synthesis of Semiconductor Quantum Dots toward Large-Scale Production: A Review
Abstract
The development of green synthetic approaches is one of the key materials challenges in moving toward semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) for large-scale production and commercial applications. This article presents a comprehensive overview on the synthesis of colloidal QDs prepared via chemical approaches in solution phase, with emphasis on green routes which possess the advantages of environment-friendly raw materials, simple operation process, and robust mass-scale production. The approaches for the synthesis of QDs in batch reactors are summarized, including hot-injection organometallic synthesis, noninjection organometallic synthesis, aqueous synthesis and biosynthesis approaches, with some of the concerns on their limitations for scale-up, followed by some continuous synthetic methods aiming for reproducible and large-scale production. Current advances in continuous synthesis of QDs by microfluidic devices, high-gravity reactors, and spray-based techniques are briefly introduced. We also provide some insights into challenges and opportunities based on our own understanding of this field.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
