Colloidal synthesis of emission-tunable Cu-doped Zn–In–Se/ZnSe core/shell nanocrystals for lighting and bioimaging applications

Abstract

Luminescent inorganic nanocrystals (NCs) of environmentally-benign CuI:Zn-In-Se/ZnSe core/shell have been synthesized by phosphine-free one-pot, two-step organometallic approach with good colloidal quality. Firstly, CuI ion doped Zn-In-Se colloidal NCs were synthesized...
