title: Picoliter droplets developed as microreactors for ultrafast synthesis of multi-color water-soluble CdTe quantum dots.
abstract: Picoliter droplets were developed as microreactors for ultrafast and continuous synthesis of multi-color, water-soluble CdTe quantum dots (QDs). Through a slight change in the local controllable reaction temperature of 1-2 °C, we could obtain a series of different colored fluorescent QDs in about 1 min.
