Abstract
Although CdTe nanocrystal has been applied in quantum dot (QD)-based solar cells, there is no report on a graphene–CdTe QD hybrid system and its photoresponses. In this work, graphene–CdTe QD composed nanosheets were one-step synthesized in aqueous solution using a hydrothermal method and demonstrated enhanced photoresponses, rendering potentials in optoelectronics applications. This work could provide an environmental-friendly and universal approach to fabricate graphene-based hybrid nanomaterials for various applications.
