This disclosure pertains to the field of nanotechnology. The disclosure provides methods of preparing nanostructures using a Group IV metal halide. The nanostructures have high quantum yield, narrow emission peak width, tunable emission wavelength, and colloidal stability. Also provided are nanostructures prepared using the methods. And, nanostructure films and molded articles comprising the nanostructures are also provided.

Blue-emitting nanocrystals with cubic shape and group IV metal fluoride passivation

Embodiments of a flexible electroluminescent (EL) device are described. An EL device includes a device stack and a flexible substrate configured to support the device stack. The device stack can include a anode and a cathode, a quantum dot (QD) film positioned between the anode and the cathode and configured to produce light having a first peak wavelength. The device stack further includes a patterned insulating layer disposed on the anode and configured to form electrically active regions in the device stack and to control emission of the light from the EL device through the electrically active regions. The EL device further includes an encapsulation layer disposed on the cathode.

Flexible electroluminescent devices

The invention relates to highly stable nanostructures with inorganic ligands for electroluminescent devices, particularly nanostructure composition comprising at least one population of nanostructures; and at least one fluoride containing ligand bound to the surface of the nanostructure; wherein the fluoride containing ligand is selected from the group consisting of a fluorozincate, tetrafluoroborate, and hexafluorophosphate. The invention also relates to highly stable nanostructures comprising at least one population of nanostructures and fluoride anions bound to the surface of the nanostructure. The invention also relates to methods of producing such nanostructures.
