30. Whereas the PbS-OLA particles did not exhibit signs of photooxidation during the laser studies, it is possible they might have undergone oxidation prior to the laser studies and prior to ligand exchange. It is also possible that having pre-oxidized particles during the ligand exchange facilitates the oxidation of the ligand or prevents satisfactory passivation of the NPs, leading to the precipitation of the NPs. During the course of our investigation, it was reported by Klimov and co-workers 27 that oxidation of the NP core has a slight effect on MEG dynamics. In the same manner, if oligosulfide formation of the DMPS ligand occurs because of oxidation then a coordination site (or dangling bond) can open up on the surface of the particle. Both the oxidation of the NP core and the presence of dangling bonds can contribute to electron-trapping states on the NP surface. Correcting for a trapping factor in such a case provides a better assessment of true MEG yields.
