Abstract

We report chemical route for synthesis of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) and its characterizations by UV/Vis Spectroscopy (UV/Vis), X-Ray Diffraction study (XRD) and High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM). Further, Electroluminescence (EL) spectroscopy has been carried out to investigate the light emitting phenomena of the samples when biased with electrical energy (Voltage). The average quantum dot size ranges from 7 nm to 8.2 nm. Electroluminescence reveals green luminescence and indicates the application of CdSe quantum dots as light emitting devices (LEDs).

Keywords
