Over the last several years tremendous progressed progress has been made in incorporating
Colloidal Quantum Dots (CQDs) as photoactive components in optoelectronic devices. A
significant part of that progress is associated with significant advancements made in
achievingon controlled electronic doping of the CQDs and thus improving the electronic
properties of CQDs solids. Today, a variety of strategies exists towards that purpose and this
minireview aims at surveying major published works in this subject. Additional attention is
given to the many challenges associated with the task of doping CQDs as well as to the
optoelectronic functionalities and applications being realized when successfully achieving light
and heavy electronic doping of CQDs.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
