A Safer, Easier, Faster Synthesis for CdSe Quantum Dot Nanocrystals
Boatman, Elizabeth M.; Lisensky, George C.; Nordell, Karen J.
Journal of Chemical Education, v82 n11 p1697-1699 Nov 2005
The synthesis for CdSe quantum dot nanocrystals that vary in color and are a visually engaging way to demonstrate quantum effects in chemistry is presented. CdSe nanocrystals are synthesized from CdO and elemental Se using a kinetic growth method where particle size depends on reaction time.
