, Zhao Suling1, 2, Xu Zheng1, 2, Xu Xurong1, 2 The agglomeration mechanisms of ZnO quantum dots, from individually dispersed to coupled with number of QDs in the cluster. (a) ZnO QDs are highly dispersed; (b) the particles move irregularly in the solution and form clusters; (c) the clusters grow larger and larger; (d) hard agglomeration with strong bonds is formed.
