Abstract: A novel route was developed to synthesize hydrophobic quantum dots(QDs) using oleylamine-hydrogen selenide complex as the precursor. Fresh H2Se gas was introduced into oleylamine to form oleylamine-hydrogen selenide complex, and the complex was used as the precursor to prepare QDs by hot-injection solvothermal synthesis. The obtained QDs were characterized by photoluminescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results show that the proposed method led to the formation of cubic CdSe QDs with narrow fluorescence full-width at half-maximum(25—40 nm), high photoluminescence quantum yield(up to 23%), and a broad emission spectra tunable from 480—610 nm. This is a low cost and environmentally benign technique for QDs preparation due to the absence of trialkylphosphine.
