The numbers referring to the ligand coverage were incorrectly reported in the Results/Discussion section. The previous numbers read: “The ligand coverage was within the range 1.6–1.9 TET-CA/nm2 for all sizes of QDs”. The corrected numbers should read: “The ligand coverage was within the range 0.45–0.7 TET-CA/nm2 for all sizes of QDs”. See below for the updated Table S1 and Figure S2.

| exciton band gap (eV) | diameter (nm) | size distribution (%) | ligand/QD | ligand/nm2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.90 | 4.9 | 5.3 | 37.0 | 0.47 |
| 1.00 | 4.3 | 8.0 | 34.0 | 0.57 |
| 1.08 | 4.0 | 6.3 | 25.6 | 0.53 |
| 1.18 | 3.5 | 8.2 | 24.5 | 0.63 |
| 1.30 | 3.1 | 4.9 | 20.8 | 0.69 |
