Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) in colloidal form have attracted growing interest for their potential applications in solution-processable electronic devices. Controlled electronic doping in QD assemblies is one of the challenges required for advancing the development of novel solar cells, photodetectors, and transistors based on this system. While several n-type QD films with excellent conductivity have been successfully demonstrated, in general, p-type QD films have shown poor conductivity. Ligand and solvent engineering were found to permit significant enhancements of hole transport in lead sulfide (PbS) QD films. Capping with a carboxylate ligand generally produces p-type doping of PbS QD films; furthermore, among various carboxylate ligands, thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid provides PbS QD films with exceptionally high hole mobility values, and solvents with a high solvency power for the ligand are important for enhancing carrier mobility. With an appropriate combination of ligand molecule and solven...
