Have you tried by dispersing a little amount of PbS sample in ethanol/acetone/chloroform?

Emmanuel Lhuillier

Most of the time PbS QD have infrared exciton.

they absorb all visible wavelength in the visible which make them brown/dak in solution

very small PbS QD will have feature around 800nm and big one up to 2µm typically
