Abstract:
Highly-photoluminescent ZnSe quantum dots with 72% quantum yield and 22 nm full width at half maximum were synthesized with more reactive precursors via a non-injection approach with high synthetic reproducibility; (31)P NMR provided insight into the formation mechanisms of ZnSe monomers.
