Fig. 3: Chemical and air stabilities of OA-capped QDs (black squares), PMMA-QDs (blue triangles), and P(MMA-b-XGMA)-QDs (red circles).

PLQY traces of a InP/ZnSeS QDs upon exposure to ambient air and b CdSe/ZnCdS QDs exposed to oxidative etching conditions by the addition of 40 mM H2O2. c PL peak shift of CdSe/ZnCdS QDs upon exposure to H2O2. d XPS spectra of CdSe/ZnCdS QDs capped with OA ligands (top) and P(MMA-b-XGMA)-SH ligands (bottom) after exposure to H2O2 for 2 h. Error bars were obtained after at least three runs of stability tests.
