Lead sulfide (PbS) quantum dots (QDs) have been covalently attached to reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Thin films from a hybrid rGO-PbS nanomaterial have been formed by a Langmuir-Blodgett technique. We found that oleic acid on QDs surface induces self-organization of high-quality rGO-PbS films with a thickness of 1-2 monolayer. To utilize these films in optoelectronic devices, post-deposition ligand exchange procedures have been applied. We found both high conductivity and light-sensitivity in EDT- and TBAI-treated rGO-PbS films. We have applied rGO-PbS hybrid films to enhance the performance of a hybrid and heterojunction QD-based solar cells.
