Synthesis of CdSe quantum dots: Effect of surfactant on the photoluminescence property

This paper reports the synthesis of highly lumimescence CdSe quantum dots via wet-chemical process and the study of the surfactant concentration effect on the improvement of the photoluminescence characteristic. Here, we also discussed in detail the quantum dots synthesis procedure and the mechanism for the improvement of the luminescence characteristic of CdSe quantum dots under a different surfactant concentration.
