In the synthesis of CuInS2 quantum dots (QDs), the halide ions present in the copper salts influence the QD growth and optical properties. X-ray absorption spectroscopy allowed rationalizing the halide incorporation in the lattice and the dependency of electronic properties of the material on the ion’s polarizability and interaction with hydrophobic moieties.
