Size tuning at full yield in the hot injection synthesis through facile adjustments of the nucleation event Universiteit Gent
Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots (QDs) attract extensive interest in nowadays science. For the characterization of their materials properties and their use in applications, the synthesis of QDs with sharp size distributions at a desired mean size is of fundamental importance. In widely used colloidal synthetic strategies based on hot injection, size control is achieved by adjusting the reaction time. Although highly ...
