Shevchenko, Andreas Kornowski, Alexander Eychmu ller, and Horst Weller Institute of Physical Chemistry, Uni ersity of Hamburg, Bundesstr. 45, 20146 Hamburg, Germany Recei ed: January 24, 2002; In Final Form: March 28, 2002 New approaches to synthesize photostable thiol-capped CdTe nanocrystals are reported. Post-preparative size- selective precipitation and selective photochemical etching have been developed as methods providing an increase of photoluminescence quantum efficiency of the nanocrystals of up to 40%. Some advantages of thiol-capping in comparison to conventional organometallic syntheses of quantum dots are discussed. 1. Introduction highly luminescent (room-temperature quantum efficiencies up to 40%) particles (Sections 3.3 and 3.4). We also discuss the Semiconductor nanocrystals, or colloidal quantum dots (QDs), advantages and disadvantages of different thiols used as capping show unique size-dependent optical properties1 and are currently agents of CdTe QDs which are relevant for the further design of great interest for applications in optoelectronic24 and of surface properties of the nanocrystals, and stress some photovoltaic5,6 devices, optical amplifier media for telecom- advantages of the aqueous synthesis in comparison to the munication networks,7,8 and for biolabeling.912
