Abstract
The method for producing TOPO-coated CdSe NCs was described. The precursors used were dimethyl cadmium and a solution of selenium in tri-n-octyl phosphine (TOP). The precursors were pre-mixed and subsequently introduced in to a reaction flask containing a degassed mixture of TOPO and TOP under a nitrogen atmosphere at an elevated temperature. The surface of the assynthesized CdSe NCs were passivated by a layer of TOPO molecules in the presence of the TOPO/TOP solvent mixture. The composition of the particles was investigated using energy dispersive spectrometry in the TEM. It was found that the Cd2P 2Se6 plates exhibit bend contours in bright field TEM images and were not flat.
