Abstract

This chapter presents the methods for the colloidal synthesis of high-quality nanocrystals (quantum dots) and nanocrystal heterostructures based on II-VI semiconductors, electronic properties of nanoparticles of II-VI semiconductors, and summarizes the photosensitive properties of II-VI semiconductor nanoparticles/metal oxides nanocomposites. Colloidal II-VI nanoparticles effectively photosensitize wide-gap matrices of metal oxides, which results in the transfer of a photoexcited electron from a nanoparticle to oxide matrix and leads to a significant modification of photoconductivity of matrix. An important advantage of colloidal II-VI nanoparticles for photosensitization of metal oxide matrices is the control of phototransfer efficiency by simply changing the size of the nanoparticles.
