研究目的
Investigating the synthesis of highly luminescent Cadmium Selenide (CdSe) Quantum Dots (QDs) by a simple technique for applications in Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).
研究成果
The synthesis of CdSe QDs in an open air atmosphere without purging any inert gas at a relatively low temperature was successfully achieved. The QDs exhibited size-dependent tunable optical absorption and broad PL emission spectra due to surface defects. The initial samples showed potential for use as white LEDs, while others could be utilized for yellow, orange, and red LEDs. The findings suggest a broadened approach for future QD-WLEDs applications.
研究不足
The synthesis process requires precise control over reaction time to achieve desired QD sizes and properties. The stability of QDs over longer periods and their performance in practical LED applications need further investigation.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The synthesis of CdSe QDs was carried out using a kinetic growth technique at a reaction temperature of 100 °C without any inert atmosphere, using 3-Mercapto propionic acid (MPA) as the capping agent.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples were extracted at different intervals of time (1 min, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, and 120 min) and named as S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6 respectively.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Cadmium Chloride monohydrate [CdCl2·H2O], Sodium Selenite [Na2SeO3], 3-Mercapto Propionicacid [3-MPA], Sodium borohydrate [NaBH4], sodium hydroxide [NaOH], Deionised water.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
A stock solution of Cd precursor was prepared in deionised water, then 3-MPA was added, and the pH was adjusted to 11. The Se precursor solution was mixed into the Cd solution, and the end solution was magnetically stirred at 100 °C in open air conditions.
5：The Se precursor solution was mixed into the Cd solution, and the end solution was magnetically stirred at 100 °C in open air conditions.
Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: The size of QDs was calculated by UV–Vis Spectroscopy and confirmed by HRTEM. The optical properties were characterized using UV–Vis absorption spectra and Photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra.
