Molecular Molecular weight Quantum Quantum dots Weight

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on the molecular weight (Mw) of commercial quantum dots from Evident Tech. The main inquiry is whether the reported Mw includes the organic ligand or solely reflects the core of the quantum dot. Participants suggest that the manufacturer, Evident Tech, would provide the most accurate information regarding this detail. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the composition of quantum dots for accurate application and research purposes.

Hi All,

I use commercial quantum dot from evident tech, and from the datasheet I can know its molecular weight (Mw), my question is, is this Mw also includes the organic ligand or only consider its core? what is the normal case?

thanks,
Yuliar

Evident Tech knows the answer to that.

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
