Abstract
The flexibility of the Langmuir-Blodgett technique for the deposition of unconventional materials has already been highlighted in the previous chapter. This ability, coupled with the ease of depositing such materials onto a range of substrates and its long-range order, results in the outstanding ability to design and fabricate novel heterostructures for optoelectronic device applications. In this chapter, the use of this method for the fabrication of complex heterostructures comprising of semiconducting colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) sandwiched between graphene sheets, is shown for the first time.
