    Photoluminescent Ozone Sensor with Enhanced Sensitivity by Using CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dots Modified with Gold and Platinum

    We report photoluminescence-based ozone sensing using composite films composed of gold or platinum and red-emitting CdSe/ZnS core-shell quantum dots. The sensing efficiency of quantum dots is enhanced by the a...
