Luminescent ZnSe nanocrystals of high color purity

A new synthesis method of colloidal ZnSe nanocrystals exhibiting size-dependent optical properties is reported. The ZnSe quantum dots are prepared in a non-coordinating solvent (octadecane) via direct reaction of zinc stearate with selenium dissolved in trioctylphosphine, i.e., without the use of py...

Description
Summary:A new synthesis method of colloidal ZnSe nanocrystals exhibiting size-dependent optical properties is reported. The ZnSe quantum dots are prepared in a non-coordinating solvent (octadecane) via direct reaction of zinc stearate with selenium dissolved in trioctylphosphine, i.e., without the use of pyrophoric reagents. The photoluminescence of the resulting nanocrystals can be tuned in the spectral range 390–440 nm with constant emission linewidths of the order of 15 nm.
