Abstract
AbstractChemical oxidation of under‐charged Pb atoms reduces the density of trap states by a factor of 40 in films of colloidal PbS quantum dots for devices. These emissive sub‐bandgap states are a byproduct of several standard ligand‐exchange procedures. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements and density function theory simulations demonstrate that they are associated with under‐charged Pb.
