...Tirukoti Mounika; Shiddappa L Belagali; K T Vadiraj Zinc oxide (ZnO) quantum dots (QDs) exhibit large exciton binding energy as a wide-bandgap semiconductor. They have a great advantage for catalytic processes due to their large surface area, which is extremely important in many fields of science...

...Amir-Hassan Zarnani, DMT, PhD; Mohammad-Reza Nejadmoghaddam, PhD; Mojtaba Mirhosseini Moghaddam, PhD; Fereshteh Mohammadi, MSc; Mohammad Eskandari, MSc; Ramin Ghahremanzadeh, PhD Quantum dots (QDs) are one of the most important achievements in the fast-growing nanotechnology field. Their unique...

...Poonam Rani Kharangarh, PhD; Siva Umapathy, PhD; Gurmeet Singh, PhD; Raj Kishore Sharma, PhD; Akshay Kumar, MSc This paper reports an effective synthesis, for the first time, of cobalt (II) chloride (CoCl₂)-doped graphene quantum dots (cobalt (II) chloride–GQDs). Excellent results were...

...Lalit Baruah, Mphil; Siddhartha S. Nath, PhD A simpler and cost-effective approach, in particular, with the use of oleic acid and liquid paraffin has been used to prepare CdTe quantum dots at relatively low temperatures (150–200°C). Compared with the other solvents (capping agents), oleic acid...

...Suhash C. Dey, MSc, BEd; Siddhartha S. Nath, Dip (Instrumentation), PhD In this study, the authors adopt a non-toxic chemical route for synthesis of cadmium selenium quantum dots (QD) of five different size distributions. They have been characterized by UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy...
