Abstract

CdSe magic-sized nanoclusters were synthesised at relatively low temperatures (90–150 °C) in the organometallic raw material solution by a very simple method. The variation process from nanoclusters to nanocrystals has been determined using the microreactor, and it was found that these nanoclusters could increase the CdSe nuclei number and product yield in the microfluidic reactor method. Meanwhile, the microreactor shows the advantage for studying the nanocrystal-growth process due to the precise time and temperature control and high reproducibility.
