Applications
Optical Fiber Amplifier
A PbS quantum dot optical fiber amplifier with enhanced processability and environmental stability is proposed by Sun et al. In the fabrication of the quantum dot fiber amplifier, it was demonstrated by spectroscopy that modification of PbS quantum dots with multifunctional copolymers facilitates the dispersion of quantum dots in sol-gel without degrading or changing the optical properties. With the addition of the fluorine-containing component, the PbS quantum dot fiber amplifier maintained 96% of the initial gain after 100 days, compared with only 16% for the quantum dots modified with the fluorine-free polymer, and it can be affirmed that the fluorine bonding of the multifunctional copolymer has a good improvement on the durability of the PbS quantum dots.

Solar Cells
Lv et al. successfully applied PbICl precursor solutions in N,N-dimethylformamide to deposit PbS quantum dots on TiO2 nanorod arrays by the continuous ion layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method. The photovoltaic performance of the solid-state PbS quantum dot-sensitized TiO2 nanorod array solar cells with spiro-OMeTAD was evaluated, and the average crystal sizes of PbS quantum dots were 9.0 nm for PbI2, 8.6 nm for PbBr2, and 8.4 nm for PbICl, and the photovoltaic conversion efficiencies of the corresponding solar cells reached 2.63%, 3.00%, and 3.45%, respectively.

Photodetectors
In order to overcome the obstacles currently faced by single-layer and hybrid PbS-QD photodetectors, Ren et al. designed a pure double-layer QD device that can be integrated on a flexible polyimide substrate and significantly outperforms conventional single-layer devices in terms of response speed, detection rate, linear dynamic range, and signal-to-noise ratio with comparable responsiveness. The results obtained here should be of great value for the study and design of advanced QD-based photodetectors for future applications in flexible optoelectronics.
