New synthetic routes for quantum dots.
Various methods for the synthesis of quantum dots of compound semiconductors are discussed. Emphasis is placed on methods involving the decomposition of chalcogenide-containing precursors in tri-n-octylphosphine oxide. The use of simple coordination complexes can avoid the use of pyrophoric precursors. Approaches based on melts or the use of imino-bisdichalcogeno-diphosphinates are also discussed. These routes may be suitable for the production of large quantities of quantum dots.
