Synthesis of Ultrasmall and Magic-Sized CdSe Nanocrystals

摘要: Nanocrystals exhibit useful properties not found in their bulk counterparts; however, a subclass of nanocrystals that consist diameters on the order 2 nm or less further unique properties. As synthetic methodologies have matured, greater emphasis has been made controlling early stages reaction to gain access these sub-2 species. This review provides an overview ultrasmall and magic-sized nanocrystals, diverse chemical means obtain them. Due small size resultant properties, distinct advantage many applications including achieving renal clearance for purpose biological imaging, producing simple high-quality white LEDs, growth produce various morphologies.
