Phosphine-Free-Synthesized ZnSe/ZnS Core/Shell Quantum Dots for White Light-Emitting Diodes

Blue-light-emitting ZnSe core (C) and ZnSe/ZnS core/shell (C/S) quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized with phosphine-free precursors by a thermal decomposition method in paraffin oil solvent and applied to QD-converted light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The optical properties of the synthesized ZnSe C and...
