Abstract: A phosphine-free route was successfully developed to prepare highly-quality cadmium selenium sulfide(CdSeS) alloyed quantum dots(QDs) using paraffin liquid as the reaction solvent and oleic acid as the ligand. The effects of the reaction temperature, growth time, and the molar ratio of S to Se on the properties of the CdSeS QDs were investigated. The as-prepared alloyed CdSeS QDs with zinc-blend crystalline structure possess a broad emission spectral ranging from 370 nm to 595 nm(from near-ultraviolet to salmon pink) and high photoluminescence quantum yield(PLQY) up to 65%. Moreover, the as-prepared alloyed CdSeS QDs with a gradient "CdS-rich core/CdSe-rich surface" structure also demonstrate good optical stabilities against the temperature change and photobleaching, which suggests their promising application on photoelectric devices and biological fluorescent labeling.
