Electrochemical Synthesis of CdSe Quantum Dot Array on Graphene Basal Plane using Mesoporous Silica Thin Film Templates

Materials Science 2010-06-08 v1

Abstract

We report on the synthesis of CdSe quantum dots on a graphene surface by an electrochemical deposition method. By using a mesoporous silica film formed on the graphene surface as a template and a potential equalizer between the edge/defect sites and the basal plane of the graphene, CdSe quantum dots can be grown on the basal plane into a regular hexagonal array.
