The size of PoQDs can be easily controlled by changing Received in revised form 2 October 2014 the reaction time. All these quantum dots show excellent photoluminescent (PL) performance. The p–p* Accepted 10 October 2014 transition between N and conjugated system in PoQDs increased the quantum yield significantly.
