Abstract:With water as the medium, PVP as stabilizer and ammonia as complexing agents and adjusting pH value of the solution, we report an all-aqueous synthesis of highly photoluminescent and stable ZnS quantum dots (QDs) by water-phase synthesis reaction between ZnCl2 and NaS at different temperatures and times. The optimal reaction conditions of PVP-capped ZnS QDs were obtained through experiment as follows: the concentration ZnCl2 and NaS solution both are 1 mM, (PVP):(ZnCl2) = 0.0167 (v/v), (NH3):(ZnCl2)=1:300 (v/v… Show more
