Abstract: A method for production of quantum rods is semiconductor luminescent nanoparticles of elongated shape. The semiconductor luminescent nanoparticles are core-shell nanoparticles, where core is CdSe coated with CdS shell. At the current state of the art, mass production of this type of quantum rods is challenging because of extremely fast growth of wurtzite CdSe seeds serving as the core, especially when the seeds size is below 3.0 nm that is required for synthesis of green emitting QRs. We propose the non-injection method for CdSe-seeds which comprises: preparation of single reaction mixture containing both Cd- and Se-precursors, which is liquid at room temperature: pumping the reaction mixture through the heating zone specially designed to provide highly reproducible and well-controllable residential time (0.1-60 seconds) in a heating chamber, thereby resulting in CdSe seeds with low size distribution and narrow emission bandwidth; synthesis of quantum rods using the prepared CdSe seeds.

Abstract: A method for fabricating quantum rods includes: preparing a Cd-precursor; preparing a S-precursor and CdSe seeds; preparing a Zn-precursor; mixing the S-precursor and the CdSe seeds with the Cd-precursor in a reaction mixture; adding the Zn-precursor to the reaction mixture; stopping the reaction; and performing a purification process to obtain the quantum rods.
