Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the exciting new area of quantum dots composites, including information on their preparation, characteristics, and potential uses. Nanosized semiconductor particles are known as quantum dots exhibit size-dependent properties that make them a promising candidate for use in different composites. The chapter discusses several synthesis methods, emphasising the need of exact control over quantum dot size and composition. Quantum dot composites are discussed, along with their many potential uses in fields like optoelectronics, photovoltaic, biomedicine, and sensing. Improved optical, electrical, and mechanical qualities are only a few of the ways in which these composites could revolutionise several fields of technology. This section lays the groundwork for future study and development in this exciting topic.
