Abstract

CdS nanorods and CdSe nanocrystals were prepared via the one-pot synthesis approach in oleylamine (OLA) system. The OLA used in this process as both the solvent and stabilizer is favorable for probing capping mechanism and simplifying experimental steps. The growth process and characterization of cadmium chalcogenide nanocrystals were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Results demonstrated OLA-capped CdS nanorods and CdSe nanocrystals were highly crystalline and had good optical properties.
