KONA Powder and Particle Journal No. 41 (2024)

About this Journal
KONA Powder and Particle Journal is an international, interdisciplinary, and Diamond Open-Access journal that focuseson publishing articles on powder and particle science andtechnology.
This journal is a refereed scientific journal with an annual
publication history dating back to 1983. It is distributed freeof charge to researchers, members of the scientific community, universities, and research libraries worldwide by theHosokawa Powder Technology Foundation, established bythe late Mr. Masuo Hosokawa in 1991.
The Chinese character “粉” featured on the cover of thejournal is pronounced as “KONA” in Japanese and signifies“Powder.” The calligraphy for this character is attributed to
the late Mr. Eiichi Hosokawa, the founder of Hosokawa
Micron Corporation.

About the CoverControlling the fate of free-charge carriers generated in colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals through the sequential absorption of photons at photoexcited conditions determines
the device performances of various applications including
light-emitting diodes, photodetectors, sensors and theranostic
photothermal agents. Defects, usually as non-radiating channels generated during crystal growth, interfere with efficientenergy conversion between absorbed energy and other forms
such as luminescence, photocurrent, and heat. In this paper,
we report on a reliable method to investigate the origin of
defects for identification and to inactivate them with uniquesurface chemistry approaches and doping techniques to maximize device performance. Review on this topic is discussed
on pp. 172–182. <https://doi.org/10.14356/kona.2024001>
