Abstract
We present a simple experimental procedure to obtain CdSe quantum dots from aqueous solution with a controllable size. Double-hydrophilic block copolymers consisting of a poly(ethylene glycol) block and a block of either poly(ethylene imine) or polylysine are used as stabilizers. UV/VIS absorption spectroscopy, analytical ultracentrifugation and transmission electron microscopy are used to examine the resulting quantum dots. The particle size can be simply controlled by adjusting the polymer concentration during synthesis for both block copolymers.
Dedicated to: Prof. Alexander Eychmüller on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
