An optimized synthesis route was applied for controlling the preparation of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) in an aqueous solution. Some key factors which influencing the properties of CdSe QDs, such as initial pH, ratio of precursor etc, were investigated. The as-prepared products have been characterized by TEM, XPS, XRD, UV-Vis and fluorescence (FL) spectra. The result showed that the high-quality CdSe QDs with 3 nm was obtained. The experiments also conformed that the CdSe QDs with better FL properties were obtained with properly initial pH, 5, suitably [Cd2+] / [SeSO3 2-], range from 1:0.25 to 1:0.75 and the ratio of [Cd2+] / [TGA] is 1:2~1:3.

High performance aqueous CdSe quantum dots (QDs) have been prepared by combination of Se source as vapor-phase and hydrothermal method. The main advantages of this approach included: one is to utilize H2Se vapor as a higher pure selenium source to make the prepared QDs have little other impurities, another is to obtain the QDs with characteristics of more rapid growth in the hydrothermal reaction. The as-prepared products have been characterized by ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra, photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis etc. The results show the as-synthesized water-soluble CdSe nanoparticles possess higher purity and quantum yields (QY), favorable narrow photoluminescence band with full width of half-maximum (FWHM) down to 40 nm, better photo-stability, and less synthetic time as compared with aqueous CdSe QDs obtained by other methods.

Hydrazine hydrate was used as a novel reducing agent for the synthesis of water soluble and stable cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots (QDs). The as-prepared CdSe quantum dots were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, photoluminescence, and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy analyses. The results show that the as-prepared CdSe QDs possess a cubic crystal structure and an average size of 2 nm. The effects of the pH of the original solution, thioglycollic acid (TGA)/Cd2+ molar ratio (nTGA/nCd2+), and the Cd/Se molar ratio on the luminescence properties of CdSe QDs were also systematically analysed.

Novel water-soluble CdSe quantum dots (QDs) have been prepared withN-acetyl-L-cysteine as new stabilizer through a one-step hydrothermal route. The influence of experimental conditions, including reaction time, molar ratio of reactants, and pH value, on the luminescent properties of the obtained CdSe QDs has been systematically investigated. The characterization of as-prepared QDs was carried out through different methods. In particular, we realized qualitative and semiquantitative studies on CdSe QDs through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron diffraction spectroscopy. The results show that the as-prepared CdSe QDs exhibit a high quantum yield (up to 26.7%), high stability, and monodispersity and might be widely used in biochemical detection and biochemical research.

This paper report a straightforward approach for the synthesis of CdSe quantum dots (CdSe QDs) in aqueous solution. This method, performed in homogeneous phase, affords optimal sizes and high quantum yields for each application desired. It is ana la carteprocedure for the synthesis of nanoparticles aimed at their later application. By controlling the experimental conditions, CdSe QDs of sizes ranging between 2 and 6 nm can be obtained. The best results were achieved in an ice-bath thermostated at 4°C, using mercaptoacetic acid as dispersant. Under these conditions, a slow growth of quantum nanocrystals was generated and this was controlled kinetically by the hydrolysis ofSeSO32-to generateSe2-  in situ, one of the forming species of the nanocrystal. The organic dispersant mercaptoacetate covalently binds to the Cd2+ion, modifying the diffusion rate of the cation, and plays a key role in the stabilization of CdSe QDs. In optimum conditions, when kept in their own solution CdSe QDs remain dispersed over 4 months. The NPs obtained under optimal conditions show high fluorescence, which is a great advantage as regards their applications. The quantum efficiency is also high, owing to the formation under certain conditions of ananoshellof Cd(OH)2, values of 60% being reached.

We present third-order optical nonlinear absorption in CdSe quantum dots (QDs) with particle sizes in the range of 4.16–5.25 nm which has been evaluated by the Z-scan technique. At an excitation irradiance of 0.54 GW/cm2 the CdSe QDs exhibit reverse saturation indicating a clear nonlinear behavior. Nonlinearity increases with particle size in CdSe QDs within the range of our investigations which in turn depends on the optical band gap. The optical limiting threshold of the QDs varies from 0.35 GW/cm2 to 0.57 GW/cm2 which makes CdSe QDs a promising candidate for reverse-saturable absorption based devices at high laser intensities such as optical limiters.

Luminescence Efficiency

We have investigated the effect of water (H2O) cooling and heat treatment on the luminescence efficiency of core CdSe quantum dots (QDs). The photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield of the CdSe QDs was enhanced up to ~85%, and some periodic bright points were observed in wide color ranges during the heat treatment of QDs mixed with H2O. The PL enhancement of QDs could be attributed to the recovery of QDs surface traps by unreacted ligands confined within the hydrophilic H2O molecule containers.
