18. The QD PL quantum efficiencies were determined by comparing the integrated emission of a given QD sample in dilute hexane solution with an optical density of 0.1 with that of the laser dye Coumarin 102 (Lambda Physik) in ethanol.

20. WDS confirmed the thickness of the ZnS shell for the QD sample shown in Figures 2b and 5c, giving an average element weight percent of 21.6 ± 0.9% for Cd, 32.2 ± 0.5% for Zn, and 46.2 ± 0.7% for S. These values correspond to a 0.77 nm (2.5 monolayers) thick theoretical ZnS shell, which is consistent with the average experimental thickness obtained from TEM.
