Abstract
CdSe quantum dots (QDs) with several morphologies were fabricated using various reaction sys- tems. In a trioctylamine (TOA) and octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA) system, yellow-emitting (a photoluminescence (PL) peak wavelength of 583 nm) CdSe QDs revealed rod morphology and nar- row size distribution. When ODPA was replaced by tetradecylphosphonic acid (TDPA), red-emitting CdSe rods (a PL peak wavelength of 653 nm) with broad size distribution were fabricated. This is ascribed that the short carbon chain accelerated the growth of CdSe QDs. As a result, the use of ODPA resulted in CdSe QDs with high PL efficiency (3.1%). Furthermore, cubic-like CdSe QDs were created in a stearic acid (SA) and octadecene (ODE) reaction system. The PL efficiency of the QDs is low (0.2%). When hexadecylamine (HDA) was added in such SA and ODE reaction system, spherical CdSe QDs with narrow size distribution and high PL efficiency (3.4%) were prepared.
