Quantum dots, method, and devices
First Claim
1. A quantum dot including a fluorine-containing ligand attached to a surface thereof and further including a coating comprising a fluoropolymer that surrounds the outer surface of the quantum dot and the fluorine-containing ligand attached to the surface thereof,wherein the fluoropolymer comprises a first functional group on the inner surface of the coating, wherein the first functional group comprises an aliphatic moiety comprising a main chain including at least 2 carbon atoms and one or more fluorine atoms, and wherein the first functional group is associated with the fluorine-containing ligand attached to the surface of the quantum dot,wherein the fluoropolymer further comprises a plurality of non-fluorine containing functional groups on an outer surface of the coating, andwherein the coating comprising the fluoropolymer has a thickness less than or equal to 100 nm.

Abstract
A quantum dot including a fluorine-containing ligand attached to a surface thereof and having a coating comprising a fluoropolymer over at least a portion of the outer surface of the quantum dot. A method for preparing a quantum dot with a coating comprising a fluoropolymer over at least a portion of the outer surface of the quantum dot is also disclosed. The method comprises contacting a quantum dot having a fluorine-containing ligand attached to a surface thereof with a fluoropolymer to coat the fluoropolymer over at least a portion of the outer surface of the quantum dot. A device including the quantum dot taught herein is further disclosed. An emissive material including the quantum dot taught herein is further disclosed.
