Surfactant-dependent photoluminescence of CdTe/CdS nanocrystals

The photoluminescence of aqueously synthesised core/shell CdTe/CdS quantum dots (QDs) was investigated. Two molar ratios (2.4 and 1.3) of thioglycolic acid (TGA) to Cd2+ were compared to determine the best synthesis conditions for high photoluminescent quantum yield (PLQY) and photostability. A diff...
