Abstract
In this contribution, we report an efficient synthesis of Cd-free Ag−In−S /ZnS (AIS/ZnS) quantum dots (QDs) using low toxic precursors and investigation of their optical properties. The nanocrystals (NCs) have been successfully obtained directly in aqueous media in the presence of thioglycolic acid (TGA) as stabilizing and reactivity-controlling agent. The coating with ZnS shell leads to the photoluminescence (PL) emission peak blue-shift and the emission intensity enhancement. In order to increase the quantum yield (QY) the nanocrystals were transferred to the organic phase; an influence by post-synthesis treatments of heating was investigated.
