A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11999884B2) discloses a nanostructure composition comprising a nanostructure with polythiol ligands dispersed on its surface. The polythiol ligands are defined by specific formulas and are designed to enhance the properties of the nanostructure. The nanostructure itself can have various cores such as InP, CdSe, ZnSe, and others, and may include at least one shell for additional functionality.

Moreover, the patent also covers a method for replacing a first ligand on a nanostructure with a second ligand, involving the use of a reaction mixture containing polythiol ligands. This process allows for the modification of nanostructures to achieve desired characteristics. Additionally, a nanostructure film layer is described, which includes nanostructures with polythiol ligands and demonstrates a light conversion efficiency ranging from 20% to 40%. The composition and method outlined in the patent offer innovative ways to manipulate nanostructures for various applications, including optoelectronic devices and energy conversion systems.
