Abstract
Colloidal Quantum Dots (CQDs) of mercury telluride (HgTe) hold particular appeal for infrared photodetection due to their widely tunable infrared absorption and good compatibility with silicon electronics. While advances in surface chemistry have led to improved CQD solids, the chemical stability of HgTe material is not fully emphasized. In this study, it is aimed to address this issue and identifies a Se-stabilization strategy based on the surface coating of Se on HgTe CQDs via engineering in the precursor reactivity. The presence of Se-coating enables HgTe CQDs with improved colloidal stability, passivation, and enhanced degree of freedom in doping tuning. This enables the construction of optimized p-i-n HgTe CQD infrared photodetectors with an ultra-low dark current 3.26 × 10-6 A cm⁻2 at -0.4 V and room-temperature specific detectivity of 5.17 × 1011 Jones at wavelength ≈2 um, approximately one order of magnitude improvement compared to that of the control device. The stabilizing effect of Se is well preserved in the thin film state, contributing to much improved device stability. The in-synthesis Se-stabilization strategy highlights the importance of the chemical stability of materials for the construction of semiconductor-grade CQD solids and may have important implications for other high-performance CQD optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
HgTe nanocrystals (NCs) possess advantages including tunable infrared absorption spectra, solution processability, and low fabrication costs, offering new avenues for the advancement of next-generation infrared detectors. In spite of great synthetic advances, it remains essential to achieve customized synthesis of HgTe NCs in terms of industrial applications. Herein, by taking advantage of a high critical nucleation concentration of HgTe NCs, a continuous-dropwise (CD) synthetic approach that features the addition of the anion precursors in a feasible drop-by-drop fashion is demonstrated. The slow reaction dynamics enable size-customized synthesis of HgTe NCs with sharp band tails and wide absorption range fully covering the short- and mid-infrared regions. More importantly, the intrinsic advantages of CD process ensure high-uniformity and scale-up synthesis from batch to batch without compromising the excitonic features. The resultant HgTe nanocrystal photodetectors show a high room-temperature detectivity of 8.1 × 1011 Jones at 1.7 µm cutoff absorption edge. This CD approach verifies a robust method for controlled synthesis of HgTe NCs and might have important implications for scale-up synthesis of other nanocrystal materials.

Abstract
The synthesis of n-doped HgTe colloidal quantum dots was optimized to produce samples with a 1Se-1Pe intraband transition in the long-wave infrared (8-12 μm). The spin-orbit splitting of 1Pe states places the 1Se-1Pe1/2 transition around 10 μm. The narrow line width of 130 cm-1 at 300 K is limited by the size distribution. This narrowing leads to an absorption coefficient about 5 times stronger than is possible with the HgTe CQD interband transition at similar energies. From 300 to 80 K, the intraband transition blueshifts by 90 cm-1, while the interband transition redshifts by 350 cm-1. These shifts are assigned to the temperature dependence of the band structure. With ∼2 electrons/dot doping at 80 K, a photoconductive film of 80 nm thickness on a quarter wave reflector substrate showed a detectivity (D*) of ∼107 Jones at 500 Hz in the 8-12 μm range.

Abstract
Commercial infrared (IR) photodetectors based on epitaxial growth inorganic semiconductors, e.g. InGaAs and HgCdTe, suffer from high fabrication cost, poor compatibility with silicon integrated circuits, rigid substrates and bulky cooling systems, which leaves a large development window for the emerging solution-processable semiconductor-based photo-sensing devices. Among the solution-processable semiconductors, mercury (Hg) chalcogenide colloidal quantum dots (QDs) exhibit unique ultra-broad and tuneable photo-responses in the short-wave infrared to far-wave infrared range, and have demonstrated photo-sensing abilities comparable to the commercial products, especially with advances in high operation temperature. Here, we provide a focused review on photodetectors employing Hg chalcogenide colloidal QDs, with a comprehensive summary of the essential progress in the areas of synthesis methods of QDs, property control, device engineering, focus plane array integration, etc. Besides imaging demonstrations, a series of Hg chalcogenide QD photodetector based flexible, integrated, multi-functional applications are also summarized. This review shows prospects for the next-generation low-cost highly-sensitive and compact IR photodetectors based on solution-processable Hg chalcogenide colloidal QDs.

Abstract
Intra-band transitions in colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are promising for opto-electronic applications in the mid-IR spectral region. However, such intra-band transitions are typically very broad and spectrally overlapping, making the study of individual excited states and their ultrafast dynamics very challenging. Here, we present the first full spectrum two-dimensional continuum infrared (2D CIR) spectroscopy study of intrinsically n-doped HgSe QDs, which exhibit mid-infrared intra-band transitions in their ground state. The obtained 2D CIR spectra reveal that underneath the broad absorption line shape of ∼500 cm-1, the transitions exhibit surprisingly narrow intrinsic linewidths with a homogeneous broadening of 175-250 cm-1. Furthermore, the 2D IR spectra are remarkably invariant, with no sign of spectral diffusion dynamics at waiting times up to 50 ps. Accordingly, we attribute the large static inhomogeneous broadening to the distribution of size and doping level of the QDs. In addition, the two higher-lying P-states of the QDs can be clearly identified in the 2D IR spectra along the diagonal with a cross-peak. However, there is no indication of cross-peak dynamics indicating that, despite the strong spin-orbit coupling in HgSe, transitions between the P-states must be longer than our maximum waiting time of 50 ps. This study illustrates a new frontier of 2D IR spectroscopy enabling the study of intra-band carrier dynamics in nanocrystalline materials across the entire mid-infrared spectrum.

Abstract
Quantum dot materials, with their unique photophysical properties, are promising zero-dimensional materials for encryption, display, solar cells, and biomedical applications. However, due to the large surface to volume ratio, they face the challenge of chemical instability and low carrier transport efficiency, which have greatly limited their reliability and utility. In light of the current development bottleneck of quantum dot materials, the chemical stability and physical properties can be effectively improved by the self-assembly method. This review will discuss the research progress of the self-assembly methods of quantum dots and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of those self-assembly methods. Furthermore, the scientific challenges and improvement in the self-assembly method of quantum dots are prospected.

Abstract
Due to thermal carriers generated by a narrow mid-infrared energy gap, cooling is always necessary to achieve ideal photodetection. In quantum dot (QD), the electron thermal generation should be reduced with quantum confinement in all three dimensions. As a result, there would be a great potential to realize high-operating-temperature (HOT) QD mid-IR photodetectors, though not yet achieved. Taking the advantages of colloidal nanocrystals' solution processability and precise doping control by surface dipoles, this work demonstrates a HOT mid-infrared photodetector with a QD gradient homojunction. The detector achieves background-limited performance with D* = 2.7 × 1011 Jones on 4.2 μm at 80 K, above 1011 Jones until 200 K, above 1010 Jones until 280 K, and 7.6 × 109 Jones on 3.5 μm at 300 K. The external quantum efficiency also achieves more than 77% with responsivity 2.7 A/W at zero bias. The applications such as spectrometers, chemical sensors, and thermal cameras, are also approved, which motivate interest in low-cost, solution-processed and high-performance mid-infrared photodetection beyond epitaxial growth bulk photodetectors.

Abstract
Sulfur quantum dots (SQDs) are a kind of pure elemental quantum dots, which are considered as potential green nanomaterials because they do not contain heavy metal elements and are friendly to biology and environment. In this paper, SQDs with size around 2 nm were synthesized by a microwave-assisted method using sulfur powder as precursor. The SQDs had the highest emission under the excitation of 380 nm and emit blue fluorescence at 470 nm. In addition, the SQDs had good water solubility and stability. Based on the synthesized SQDs, a fluorescence assay for detection of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was reported. The fluorescence of the SQDs was initially quenched by Cr (VI). In the presence of ALP, ALP-catalyzed hydrolysis of 2-phospho-L-ascorbic acid to generate ascorbic acid. The generated ascorbic acid can reduce Cr (VI) to Cr (III), thus the fluorescence intensity of SQDs was restored. The assay has good sensitivity and selectivity and was applied to the detection of ALP in serum samples. The interesting properties of SQDs can find a wide range of applications in different sensing and imaging areas.

Abstract
In this work, a room-temperature mixed-phase ligand exchange method is developed to obtain a relatively high carrier mobility (∼1 cm2/(V s)) on HgSe intraband colloidal quantum dot solids without any observable trap state. What is more, the doping from 1Se to 1Pe state in the conduction band could be precisely controlled by additional salts during this method, proved by optical and transport experiments. The high mobility and controllable doping benefit the mid-infrared photodetector utilizing the 1Se to 1Pe transition, with a 1000-fold improvement in response speed, which is several μs, a 55-fold increase in responsivity, which is 77 mA/W, and a 10-fold increase in specific detectivity, which is above 1.7 × 109 Jones at 80 K. The high-performance photodetector could serve as an intraband infrared camera for thermal imaging, as well as a CO2 gas sensor with a range from 0.25 to 2000 ppm.

Abstract
In search of heavy metal-free mid-IR active colloidal materials, self-doped silver selenide colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) can be an alternative offering tunable mid-IR wavelength with a narrow bandwidth. One of the challenges in the study of the intraband transition is developing a method to widen the intraband transition energy range as well as reducing the toxicity of the materials. Here, we present AgxSe (x > 2) CQDs exhibiting an intraband transition up to 0.39 eV, produced by the cation exchange (CE) method from PbSe CQDs. The major electronic transition efficiently changes from the SWIR band gap of PbSe CQDs to the mid-IR intraband transition of the AgxSe CQDs by the CE. The intraband exciton is verified by examining the absorption and emission of the CE AgxSe CQDs as well as their applications on electrochemical mid-IR luminescence and mid-IR intraband photodetectors.

Abstract
Quantum dot (QD) sensitized molecular triplet excited state generation has been a promising alternative for traditional triplet state harvesting schemes. However, the correlation between QD bright/dark states and QD sensitized triplet energy transfer (TET) has been unclear. Herein, we studied the bright/dark states contribution to TET with CdSe/CdS core/shell QD-oligothiophene as the model system. Equilibrium between QD bright and dark states was tuned by changing temperature, and TET dynamics were monitored with transient absorption spectroscopy. Analysis of acceptor triplet excited state growth kinetics yields rates of TET from bright and dark states as 0.492 ± 0.011 ns-1 and 0.0271 ± 0.0014 ns-1 at 5 K, suggesting significant contribution of bright states to TET. The result was rationalized by bright state wave function components with the same electron/hole spin projections leading to nonzero TET probability. The study provides new insights into QD sensitized TET mechanisms and inspiration for future TET efficiency optimization through QD exciton engineering.

Abstract
Infrared photodetectors have received much attention for several decades due to their broad applications in the military, science, and daily life. However, for achieving an ideal signal-to-noise ratio and a very fast response, cooling is necessary in those devices, which makes them bulky and costly. Thus, room-temperature infrared photodetectors have emerged as a hot research direction. Novel low-dimensional materials with their easy fabrication and excellent photoelectronic properties provide a possible solution for room-temperature infrared photodetectors. This review aims to summarize the preparation methods and characterization of several low-dimensional materials (PbS, PbSe and HgTe, new two-dimensional materials) with great concern and the room-temperature infrared photodetectors based on them.

Abstract
HgTe colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are promising absorber systems for infrared detection due to their widely tunable photoresponse in all infrared regions. Up to now, the best-performing HgTe CQD photodetectors have relied on using aggregated CQDs, limiting the device design, uniformity and performance. Herein, we report a ligand-engineered approach that produces well-separated HgTe CQDs. The present strategy first employs strong-binding alkyl thioalcohol ligands to enable the synthesis of well-dispersed HgTe cores, followed by a second growth process and a final postligand modification step enhancing their colloidal stability. We demonstrate highly monodisperse HgTe CQDs in a wide size range, from 4.2 to 15.0 nm with sharp excitonic absorption fully covering short- and midwave infrared regions, together with a record electron mobility of up to 18.4 cm2 V-1 s-1. The photodetectors show a room-temperature detectivity of 3.9 × 1011 jones at a 1.7 μm cutoff absorption edge.

Abstract
A procedure is developed for the growth of thick, conformal CdS shells that preserve the optical properties of 5 nm HgSe cores. The n-doping of the HgSe/CdS core/shell particles is quantitatively tuned through a simple postsynthetic Cd treatment, while the doping is monitored via the intraband optical absorption at 5 μm wavelength. Photoluminescence lifetime and quantum yield measurements show that the CdS shell greatly increases the intraband emission intensity. This indicates that decoupling the excitation from the environment reduces the nonradiative recombination. We find that weakly n-type HgSe/CdS are the brightest solution-phase mid-infrared chromophores reported to date at room temperature, achieving intraband photoluminescence quantum yields of 2%. Such photoluminescence corresponds to intraband lifetimes in excess of 10 ns, raising important questions about the fundamental limits to achievable slow intraband relaxation in quantum dots.

Abstract
HgTe nanocrystals (NCs) enable broadly tunable infrared absorption, now commonly used to design light sensors. This material tends to grow under multipodic shapes and does not present well-defined size distributions. Such point generates traps and reduces the particle packing, leading to a reduced mobility. It is thus highly desirable to comprehensively explore the effect of the shape on their performance. Here, we show, using a combination of electron tomography and tight binding simulations, that the charge dissociation is strong within HgTe NCs, but poorly shape dependent. Then, we design a dual-gate field-effect-transistor made of tripod HgTe NCs and use it to generate a planar p-n junction, offering more tunability than its vertical geometry counterpart. Interestingly, the performance of the tripods is higher than sphere ones, and this can be correlated with a stronger Te excess in the case of sphere shapes which is responsible for a higher hole trap density.

Abstract
Intraband transitions of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals, or the electronic transitions occurring in either the conduction band or valence band, have recently received considerable attention because utilizing the intraband transitions provides new approaches for applications such as photodetectors, imaging, solar cells, lasers, and so on. In the past few years, it has been revealed that observing the intraband transition is not limited for temporal measurement such as ultrafast spectroscopy but available for steady-state measurement even under ambient conditions with the help of self-doped semiconductor nanocrystals. Considering the large absorption coefficient of the steady-state intraband transition comparable to that of the bandgap transition, the use of the intraband transition will be promising for both fundamental and application studies. Here, we summarize the recent progress in studies on intraband photoluminescence of self-doped semiconductor nanocrystals and discuss key questions to be addressed in future research.

Abstract
Spherical and tetrahedral HgTe colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are synthesized, and their doping is tuned electrochemically. Compared to spherical dots of a similar volume, the tetrahedral CQDs show a decrease in confinement energy as well as a sharper band edge absorption. The intraband spectra of the tetrahedral CQDs also display a smaller splitting from spin-orbit coupling. The shape-controlled synthesis with an improved size distribution and sharper optical features could find applications in optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
An increase in the carrier density of semiconductor nanocrystals can gradually change the origin of the optical property from the excitonic transition to the localized surface plasmon resonances. Here, we present the evolution of the electronic transition of self-doped Ag2Se colloidal quantum dots, from the intraband transition to the localized surface plasmon resonances along with a splitting of the intraband transition (1Pe-1Se). The minimum fwhm of the split intraband transition is only 23.7 meV, which is exceptionally narrow compared to that of metal oxide nanocrystals showing LSPRs, inferring that the electron-electron scattering is significantly suppressed due to the smaller carrier density. The splitting of the intraband transition mainly results from the asymmetrical crystal structure of the tetragonal Ag2Se CQDs and becomes distinct when the nanocrystal changes its crystal structure from the cubic to tetragonal structure. Maximizing the discrete energy levels in the quantum dot along with mixing with plasmonic characters may provide opportunities to fully harness merits of both the quantum confinement effect and localized surface plasmon resonance characters.

Abstract
In this study, we report a metal-ion-assisted precipitation etching strategy that can be used to manipulate the optical properties associated with the assembling of sulfur quantum dots (S dots) using copper ions. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed that the S dots were mainly distributed within 50-80 nm and that they exhibited an ambiguous boundary. After the post-synthetic Cu2+-assisted modification was completed, the assisted precipitation-etching S dots (APE-S dots) were observed to exhibit a relatively clear boundary with a high fluorescence (FL) quantum yield (QY) of 32.8%. Simultaneously, the Fourier transform infrared radiation, X-ray photoelectron spectra, and time-resolved FL decay spectra were used to illustrate the improvement in the FL QY of the APE-S dots.

Abstract
Improving charge mobility in quantum dot (QD) films is important for the performance of photodetectors, solar cells and light-emitting diodes. However, these applications also require preservation of well defined QD electronic states and optical transitions. Here, we present HgTe QD films that show high mobility for charges transported through discrete QD states. A hybrid surface passivation process efficiently eliminates surface states, provides tunable air-stable n and p doping and enables hysteresis-free filling of QD states evidenced by strong conductance modulation. QD films dried at room temperature without any post-treatments exhibit mobility up to μ ~ 8 cm2 V-1 s-1 at a low carrier density of less than one electron per QD, band-like behaviour down to 77 K, and similar drift and Hall mobilities at all temperatures. This unprecedented set of electronic properties raises important questions about the delocalization and hopping mechanisms for transport in QD solids, and introduces opportunities for improving QD technologies.

Abstract
Colloidal quantum wells are two-dimensional materials grown with atomically-precise thickness that dictates their electronic structure. Although intersubband absorption in epitaxial quantum wells is well-known, analogous observations in non-epitaxial two-dimensional materials are sparse. Here we show that CdSe nanoplatelet quantum wells have narrow (30–200 meV), polarized intersubband absorption features when photoexcited or under applied bias, which can be tuned by thickness across the near-infrared (NIR) spectral window (900–1600 nm) inclusive of important telecommunications wavelengths. By examination of the optical absorption and polarization-resolved measurements, the NIR absorptions are assigned to electron intersubband transitions. Under photoexcitation, the intersubband features display hot carrier and Auger recombination effects similar to excitonic absorptions. Sequenced two-color photoexcitation permits the sub-picosecond modulation of the carrier temperature in such colloidal quantum wells. This work suggests that colloidal quantum wells may be promising building blocks for NIR technologies. Multiple infrared lasing and detection technologies exploit intersubband transitions of epitaxial quantum wells, but such transitions are mainly limited to the mid-infrared. Here, the authors report narrow, polarized intersubband transitions up to telecom wavelengths in CdSe colloidal quantum wells.

Abstract
Transient infrared photoluminescence upconversion is used to study the exciton dynamics in small-gap HgSe colloidal quantum dots in the 2000-6500 cm-1 (0.25-0.80 eV) range. The intraband mid-infrared photoluminescence decays show absent or greatly reduced Auger relaxation of biexcitons, proposed as a generic feature of weakly n-type quantum dots due to the sparse density of states in the conduction band. The nonradiative relaxation of the intraband carriers is instead consistent with near-field energy transfer to molecular vibrations of the surface ligands. In contrast, the interband near-infrared photoluminescence decays exhibit the typical distinct exciton and biexciton lifetimes with Auger coefficients comparable to other similarly sized quantum dots. Also observed are spectral and dynamical evidence of fine structure in the intraband transitions consistent with spin-orbit splitting of the electron P levels, and the emergence of plasmonic resonances in large particles.

Abstract
Infrared applications remain too often a niche market due to their prohibitive cost. Nanocrystals offer an interesting alternative to reach cost disruption especially in the short-wave infrared (SWIR, λ < 1.7 μm) where material maturity is now high. Two families of materials are candidate for SWIR photoconduction: lead and mercury chalcogenides. Lead sulfide typically benefits from all the development made for a wider band gap such as the one made for solar cells, while HgTe takes advantage of the development relative to mid-wave infrared detectors. Here, we make a fair comparison of the two material detection properties in the SWIR and discuss the material stability. At such wavelengths, studies have been mostly focused on PbS rather than on HgTe, therefore we focus in the last part of the discussion on the effect of surface chemistry on the electronic spectrum of HgTe nanocrystals. We unveil that tuning the capping ligands is a viable strategy to adjust the material from the p-type to ambipolar. Finally, HgTe nanocrystals are integrated into multipixel devices to quantize spatial homogeneity and onto read-out circuits to obtain a fast and sensitive infrared laser beam profile.

Abstract
Colloidal quantum dots provide a powerful materials platform to engineer optoelectronics devices, opening up new opportunities in the thermal infrared spectral regions where no other solution-processed material options exist. This mini-review collates recent research reports that push the technological envelope of colloidal quantum dot-based photodetectors toward mid- and long-wavelength infrared. We survey the synthesis and characterization of various thermal infrared colloidal quantum dots reported to date, discuss the basic theory of device operation, review the fabrication and measurement of photodetectors, and conclude with the future prospect of this emerging technology.
