Semiconductor nanoparticles embedded in an inert matrix can be seen as a type of quantum‐dot composite, materials which have great potential in optoelectronic applications such as lasers. Room‐temperature electrostatic spraying is used to produce composites based on PbS nanoparticles in a polyvinyl alcohol matrix (e.g. see Fig.) and their potential for application is discussed.
