CuInS2 quantum dots with different sizes are synthesized by a thermolysis process.
PL lifetimes firstly increase then decrease with the size increasing.
There is no emission peak shift from 5 K to 200 K for the 4.9 nm CuInS2 QDs.
Temperature dependence of FWHM comes from the coupling of the carriers to the acoustic phonons modes.
Larger of conduction band energy offset between QDs and TiO2 induces the PL lifetime decreasing with the size decreasing.
