Low-cost and gram-scale synthesis of water-soluble Cu–In–S/ZnS core/shell quantum dots in an electric pressure cooker

Abstract

We report an electric pressure cooker for large-scale synthesis of water-soluble Cu–In–S/ZnS core/shell quantum dots. Low-cost thioglycolic acid and sodium citrate were used as the dual stabilizers. ∼3 grams of quantum dots with a tunable emission from 545 to 610 nm and quantum yield up to 40% were obtained in a batch.
