Among nanomaterials, CdTe holds special technological importance as the only known IIVI material that can form conventional pn junctions. This makes CdTe very important for the development of novel optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting diodes, solar cells, and lasers. Moreover, the demand for water-compatible light emitters and the most common biological buffers give CdTe quantum dots fields a veritable edge in biolabeling and bioimaging.\n\nCadmium Telluride Quantum Dots: Advances and Applications focuses on CdTe quantum dots and addresses their synthesis.
