Core–shell ZnSe–CdSe quantum dots: a facile approach via decomposition of cyclohexeno-1,2,3-selenadiazole

Abstract

For the first time ever cyclohexeno-1,2,3-selenadiazole (SDZ) has been employed for the synthesis of core–shell ZnSe–CdSe quantum dots thus promoting an eco-friendly and reasonably less toxic synthesis method for such quantum dot hetero-structures.
