Green hydrothermal synthesis of high-quality ZnS quantum dots with different patterning

Abstract

Brilliant blue mono-dispersed ZnS QDs have been synthesized using hydrothermal synthesis. The synthetic procedure provides some advantageous synthetic features such as a short preparation time with control over product dimensions using green conditions. These can then be organized into different special arrangements and their PL properties as well as XRD, TEM and UV-vis characterization are reported here-in.
