The study of CdSe colloidal quantum dots synthesized in aqueous and organic media

The samples of CdSe colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) synthesized in aqueous and organic media are studied. The possibility of luminescence peak position control depending on nanoparticle growth process is demonstrated. The samples synthesized in organic medium revealed the luminescence color variation effect with nanoparticle growth. The relation of this effect with processes of nucleation and defect formation in nanoparticles is considered. The CQDs of CdSe coated with CdS shell are fabricated. The use of inorganic shell can provide a double increase of the luminescence quantum yield
