Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Described herein is a novel one‐pot aqueous synthesis of ZnSe nanocrystals has featuring the utilization of Na₂SeO₃ and Zn(AC)₂×2H₂O as Se and Zn source, glutathione (GSH) as stabilizing agent and reducing agent. By this approach, the UV‐blue ZnSe QDs with quantum yield (QYs) up to 19% have been synthesized with a molar ratio of Se/Zn/GSH at 1:4:8.5 under aqueous conditions at 110 °C. XRD and TEM show the ZnSe QDs are zinc cubic structure particles with an average diameter of 3–5 nm.</p> </abstract>
