High quality CdSeS nanocrystals synthesized by facile single injection process and their electroluminescence

Abstract

Highly luminescent CdSeS nanocrystals (quantum efficiency up to 85%), showing tunable luminescence properties from red to blue region with narrow band edge (FWHM = 34 nm), were synthesized by one-step addition of Se and S source mixture into the Cd precursor solution at elevated temperature, and the resulting nanocrystals were successfully embedded in a traditional OLED structure to give spectrally clean and narrow electroluminescence emission at identical positions of the photoluminescence spectrum.
