Synthesis and Study of Optical Properties of Thiol- Capped CdSe Quantum Dots

Abstract

Cadmium selenide (CdSe) QDs have been synthesized in aqueous solution using 1-thioglycerol (TGH), thioglycolic acid (TGA) as stabilizers applying freezing temperature injection technique. QDs have been characterized by UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), TEM and FTIR spectroscopy. The smaller (app. 3 nm diameter) CdSe particles were obtained using 1- thioglycerol as capping agent; the use of thioglycolic acid as stabilizers produced larger (3.7 nm diameter) CdSe particles. The photoluminescence intensity of QDs capped with thioglycerol was low as compared to QDs capped with thioglycolic acid.
