Alloyed semiconductor nanoplatelets (NPLs) exhibit thickness- and composition-dependent luminescence bands with relatively narrow luminescence line widths, thus garnering significant attention for applications in LED and laser devices. Although understanding Auger recombination is crucial for these applications, the influence of the chemical composition of alloyed NPLs remains unclear. In this study, CdZnSe NPLs with various chemical compositions were synthesized, and their Auger recombination was investigated. An increase in Zn content within alloyed NPLs led to a shortening of the time constant of the biexciton Auger recombination. The final density of states, which is a critical factor in Auger recombination, was found to be larger in alloyed NPLs with an increased Zn content than in CdSe NPLs because of their heavier effective masses and band gap energy. These findings provide a deeper understanding of the fundamental physical properties of alloyed NPLs and pave the way for the advancement of applications utilizing these materials.

Photon upconversion through high harmonic generation, multiphoton absorption, Auger recombination and phonon scattering performs a vital role in energy conversion and renormalization. Considering the reduced dielectric screening and enhanced Coulomb interactions, semiconductor monolayers provide a promising platform to explore photon upconversion at room temperature. Additionally, two-photon upconversion was recently demonstrated as an emerging technique to probe the excitonic dark states due to the extraordinary selection rule compared with conventional excitation.

Colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) can generate multiple excitons (MXs) within a single QD. Owing to their large absorption cross-section, efficient utilization of MX is anticipated for the development of light-harvesting systems. However, MXs typically undergo nonradiative decay via Auger recombination (AR).

Chemical doping plays a pivotal role in tailoring the charge transport properties of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides for nanoelectronic and optoelectronic applications. In this study, we examine the influence of chlorine doping on the local electronic structure and ultrafast electron dynamics of chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown monolayer MoS. Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, supported by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), reveal spectral shifts and core-level modifications consistent with n-type doping induced by Cl atoms.

Tunnel oxide passivating contact (TOPCon) solar cells (SCs) are dominant in crystalline silicon photovoltalic (PV) due to superior their passivation and contact properties. Achieving further efficiency improvements remains challenging, requiring comprehensive optimization. This study breaks traditional experience-driven limitations by combining a dual-directional framework (forward prediction and reverse optimization) with numerical simulations for n-type TOPCon SCs.

Colloidal PbS/PbCl core/shell nanoplatelets were synthesized via wet-chemical methods using lead oleate and lead chloride as lead precursors. The resulting heterostructures consist of a PbS core, a PbCl shell, and an intermediate layer of lead sulfochloride alloy. These nanoplatelets exhibit a photoluminescence quantum yield of approximately 20%, nearly an order of magnitude higher than that of unshelled PbS nanoplatelets.
