Optical and electronics properties of semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots (QDs) and ceramic nanocrystals can be tuned by controlling the size and composition, such characteristics make them excellent candidate for applications on biomedicine and optoelectronic devices such as displays, solid-state lighting, photodetectors and solar cells devices. Here in this work, it is discussed the luminescence and electronic properties of such functional nanomaterials and proposed some application for imaging and detection of analytes. It is also discussed different architecture to optimize the charge transport and then enhancing the efficiency of LEDs and solar cells based on QDs and ceramic nanocrystals. Hybrid QD-LED and pLED combined with nanocrystals were proposed and analyzed the electro- and photo-luminescence properties in terms of size and composition of nanocrystals, and the appropriate architecture that include organic and inorganic hole and electron transport film to maximize the emission efficiency.
