The Morphologies of as prepared cadmium selenide nanostructures are summarized. And the applications and prospects of Cadmium selenide in this field also are analyzed.

Thermally Induced Morphological and Structural Transitions of Zinc Blende CdSe Hollow Nanoparticles Studied by Molecular Dynamics Simulation

“…Recently, there has been increasing attention in II-VI semiconductor chalcogenide nanostructures of CdSe, CdTe, and CdS, because of their optical, catalytic, magnetic properties and potential applications in the nanoscale. They have used for optoelectronic devices, detectors for lasers and infrared, photochemical catalysis, solar cells, gas sensors and so on [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Among CdSe nanostructures, CdSe quantum dot nanoparticles are an attractive attention due to their size and shape dependent optical properties, which have successfully used in biomedical researches [7].…”
