This work explores the assembly of large-area heterostructures comprised of a film of silica-encapsulated, semiconducting colloidal quantum dots, deposited via the Langmuir-Blodgett method, sandwiched between two graphene sheets. The luminescent, electrically insulating film served as a dielectric, with the top graphene sheet patterned into an electrode and successfully used as a top gate for an underlying graphene field-effect transistor. This heterostructure paves the way for developing novel hybrid optoelectronic devices through the integration of 2D and 0D materials.
