Engineering Bicolor Emission in 2D Core/Crown CdSe/CdSei1-xTex Nanoplatelet Heterostructures Using Band-Offset Tuning

Colloidal 2D nanoplatelets (NPLs) are a class of nanoparticles that offer the possibility of forming two types of heterostructures, by growing either in the confined direction or perpendicular to the confined direction, called core/crown NPLs. Here, we demonstrate that bicolor emission can be obtained from 2D NPLs with a core/crown geometry. To date, for CdSe/CdTe NPLs with type-II band alignment, only charge transfer emission has been observed due to the very fast (
