| Resumo: | In this work, we have synthesized CdTe quantum dots (QDs) dispersed in an aqueous medium at ambient temperature, and investigated their optical properties. Synthesis of CdTe QDs in the presence of simple amines removed the need for an additional energy source and inert atmosphere, in a simple and inexpensive experimental setup. The use of ammonia or hydrazine promoted nanoparticle growth by kinetic nanocrystal agglomeration in the initial growth stage. These weak electrolytes acted in the electrical double layer during the growth of the nanocrystals. A comparative study on the concentration of hydrazine in the reaction medium helped to investigate their role in nanocrystal growth. Substitution of hydrazine for ethylenediamine and other electrolytes like sodium chloride and ammonium chloride contributed to a better understanding of the mechanism that underlies the use of primary amines in the synthesis of CdTe. The synthesis conditions afforded the highest photoluminescence quantum yield for CdTe QDs prepared at room temperature (27.5%). |
