Near-infrared Ag2Se quantum dots with distinct absorption features and high fluorescence quantum yields†
Abstract
Near-infrared Ag2Se quantum dots (QDs) with distinct absorption features ranging between 830–954 nm and fluorescence quantum yields up to 23.4% were controllably synthesized using a phosphine-free approach. Based on the distinct absorption features, the molar extinction coefficients of the Ag2Se QDs have been determined.
