“…In recent years, due to the possibility to change the photo physical properties through simplified chemical synthesis and easy thin film processing, quantum dots (QD) and polymer:QD hybrids attract a lot of attention in UV-PD applications [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], as well as the other photonic applications, such as biological imaging and contrast agents [9,10], light-emitting devices (LEDs) [11,12] photovoltaic [13][14][15], etc. Most of the QDs used in UV-PDs are binary systems, the band gap of which are tuned by varying the diameter of the nanoparticle [1][2][3][4][5]7,8,16].…”
