PbS quantum dots (QDs) show high potential as active materials in diverse optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells and photodetectors. When organized into thin films, ligand-capped PbS QDs form a superlattice structure, greatly impacting their optoelectronic properties, since the interaction among adjacent PbS QDs relies significantly on their proximity. This study examines how the superlattice arrangement of PbS QDs alters when subjected to external strain. To conduct this exploration, PbS QD thin films are fabricated on flexible PDMS substrates. In-situ grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) alongside photoluminescence (PL) examines how these samples deform under different levels of strain. The primary objective of this study is to correlate the structural modifications induced by strain and the consequent alterations in optoelectronic performance.
