| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed a solution-phase method for synthesizing high-quality multinary quantum dots (QDs) composed of less toxic elements, in which harmful defect sites for photo-generated charge carriers were mostly eliminated. Furthermore, the chemical compositions of QDs were precisely controlled to tune their electronic energy structures. The obtained QDs exhibited photoluminescence properties, photoelectrochemical properties, and photocatalytic activities, being dependent on the sizes and shapes of QDs and their chemical compositions. These results indicate that less-toxic multinary quantum dots obtained in this study are useful as photo-functional materials in practical applications.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
低毒性なI-III-VI族元素をベースとする多元半導体量子ドットを液相化学合成法により作製した。さらに異なる半導体と接合させる、あるいは多元量子ドットの粒子組成を空間的に変調させることによって、粒子内部にヘテロ接合を形成させ、多元量子ドットの光化学特性を大きく向上することができた。本研究で開発した新規な低毒性多元量子ドットは、実用化が可能な材料であり、様々な分野での利用が期待される。
