Pre-Shell Protection Suppresses Facet-Selective Core Digestion in InP Quantum Dots for High-Yield and Uniform Core/Shell Structures.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Indium phosphide (InP) quantum dots (QDs) are leading cadmium-free alternatives for advanced display technologies, offering wide emission tunability and environmental compliance. However, achieving a high production yield and size uniformity remains challenging. Here we identify a previously overlooked phenomenon, i.e., facet-selective dissolution of InP cores ("core digestion") during the high-temperature ramping stage in zinc oleate media. This process reduces the number of cores, thereby broadening the core size distribution and disturbing the subsequent shell growth conditions. We introduce a preshell protection strategy that stabilizes the InP core surface before ZnSe/ZnS shell growth, effectively suppressing core digestion. As a result, the obtained core/shell QDs exhibit an enhanced particle yield, improved size uniformity, and superior optical performance. This work reveals a degradation pathway in InP synthesis and provides a practical route to scalable, high-quality QDs for display applications.
