One-pot Synthesis and Characterization of CdS and CdTe Nanocrystals

Monodispersed CdS and CdTe nanocrystals were synthesized via one-pot synthesis approach using trioctylphosphine (TOP) as solution. CdS nanocrystals with different crystal structures and morphologies were synthesized by changing reaction temperatures and sulfur precursors. CdTe nanocrystals were also synthesized under appropriate experimental conditions. The measure results shoved that all of the synthesized nanocrystals were highly crystalline.
