Investigation of Microwave Irradiation Procedure for Synthesizing CdSe Quantum Dots

Figure 5

Comparison of QDs resuspended in different solvents under visible light (a) and 365 nm UV light (b). The left pair compares QDs prepared at 165°C for 5 min and resuspended in either toluene (left) or hexane (right). The middle pair compares QDs prepared at 180°C for 3 min and resuspended in either toluene (left) or chloroform (right). The right pair compares QDs prepared at 225°C for 3 min and resuspended in either toluene (left) or 1‐octadecene (right).
