Solution-processed semiconductor nanocrystals have been attracting increasingly greater interestin photonicsincluding spectrally pure color conversion and enrichment in quality lighting and display backlighting [1,2]. These nanocrystals span different types and structures of semiconductors in the forms of colloidal quantum dots and rods to a more recently developing class of colloidal quantum wells. In this talk, we will introduce the emerging field of nanocrystal optoelectronics using solution-processed, efficient, quantum emitters: through the journey of colloidal quantum dots to wells. In particular, we will present a new concept of all-colloidal lasers developed by incorporating nanocrystal emitters as the optical gain media, intimately integrated into fully colloidal cavities [3]. In the talk, we will then focus on our recent work on the latest rising star of tightly-confined atomically-flat nanocrystals, the quasi-2D colloidal quantum wells (CQWs), also popularly nick-named ‘nanoplatelets’. Among various extraordinary features of these CQWs, we will present our most recent discovery that the CQWs uniquely enable record high optical gain coefficients among all colloids [4]. In addition, we will show our results on the controlled stacking and assemblies of these nanoplatelets, which provides us with the ability to tune and master their excitonic properties [5], present the first accounts of doping them for high-flux solar concentration and precise wavefunction-engineered magnetic properties [6], and our record high-efficiency LEDs [7]. Given their current accelerating progress, these solution-processed quantum materials hold great promise to challenge their epitaxial thin-film counterparts in semiconductor optoelectronics in the nearfuture.
