PbS cube (a)
Chapter 7 Future Work
1. The applications of porous alumina membranes as two dimensional photonic crystals or micropolarizers have been noted recently. More extensive researches would be necessary to make clear definitions in these fields.
2. The further application of porous alumina membranes is as a light extraction component in a LED. Porous alumina membrane has an appropriate reflective index between semiconductor layer of the LED and air; moreover, its surface roughness and photonic crystal structure can enhance the light extraction
3. Nonlinear optical properties of semiconductor nanocrystals are expected to be great enhanced in the strong confinement regime. Owing to a large Bohr radius and the adjustable optical absorption, these make PbS interesting for potential applications in nonlinear optics. It will be useful to investigate the nonlinear optical property of PbS nanocrystals in detail.
4. A kind of application of the PbS is the fabrication of light converting electrodes which can be obtained by producing PbS nanocrystals in porous titania template.
In this divice, visible light is absorbed by PbS nanocrystals, followed by electron transfer into the porous TiO2 membrane. There are several advantages to use PbS nanocrystals instead of organic dyes: the band gap or the absorption range can be easily adjustable by the size of the nanocrystals, and the absorption behavior has the higher photo-electro conversion efficiency.
