Abstract
In this study, CdSe-based hybrid CdSe/ZnS quantum dots were synthesized. Their optical properties have been proven using absorption and luminescence spectroscopy methods. After the ZnS shell was grown on the surface shell of CdSe nanoparticles, the photoluminescence stability and shelf life of the quantum dots increased significantly. The energy of the outer shell has increased. Absorption and luminescence spectra shifted to a shorter wavelength range. The size of the nucleus decreased from 3.7 nm to 2.8 nm. The surface was stabilized with oleic acid as an active ligand. After stabilization with the surfactant, the average total hydrodynamic size of the nanoparticles increased.
