Q. Peng et al., Low-temperature elemental-direct-reaction route to II-VI semiconductor nanocrystalline ZnSe and CdSe, INORG CHEM, 40(16), 2001, pp. 3840
Elemental direct combination to synthesize ZnSe and CdSe only occurs at ver
y high temperature. However, in this paper, a simplest hydrothermal element
al-direct-reaction method to produce nanocrystalline ZnSe and CdSe is estab
lished, only using water as reaction medium. It greatly decreases the tempe
rature for the direct reaction of Zn, Cd with Se and, will be helpful to th
e synthesis of other nanocrystalline semiconductors.
