Effect of Thermal Annealing on Luminescence Properties of Colloidal CdTe/SiO2 Quantum Dots

Key Points

• Increased luminescence properties were observed after thermal annealing of colloidal quantum dots.
• Thermal treatment resulted in a significant enhancement in brightness and stability of the CdTe/SiO2 composite.
• The analysis involved varying thermal annealing temperatures to assess their impact on luminescence intensity.
• These findings suggest potential improvements in quantum dot applications in photonics and optoelectronics.
