Colloidal quantum dots are inorganic semiconductors whose small size determines their bandgap via quantum confinement. Traditionally they have relied on the use of long aliphatic ligands in synthesis, and this has necessitated required exchange to shorter, more conduction-compatible, ligands to produce thin semiconducting films. I will summarize progress in advancing the performance and processing of colloidal quantum dot solids and their utilization in energy-harvesting devices.
