Low-temperature synthetic method for size-controlled CdSe nanocrystals: utilization of boron selenide.
By employing B(2)Se(3) as a selenium source, we demonstrate that at reaction temperatures as low as 60 [degree]C, relatively monodisperse, fluorescent CdSe nanocrystals can be conveniently prepared in various sizes selected from 2 to 13 nm.
