Introduction Quantum Dots (QDs) Quantum dots are extremely small particles made of semiconductor
materials, usually ranging from 2-10 nanometers in diameter.
QDs were discovered in the early 1980s by Alexie Ekimov in a glass matrix and by Louis E. Brus in colloidal solutions.

CdSe Quantum Dots CdSe QDs are used in a wide range of
applications

QDs display unique optical and electrical properties due to their size and composition.

Quantum dot color depends on its size
QDs have an ability to produce fluorescence.

Over the past few years, there was a remarkable progress in synthesizing CdSe QDs using various methods.
These methods involve various organic solvents, high temperatures, high pressures and toxic substrates.
But
There are some disadvantages • Poor Biocompatibility• Poor Water Solubility

Conclusions CdSe QDs were successfully synthesized under mild chemical
conditions.
The spectral behaviors of QDs depend on temperature and growth time.
The most suitable temperature for synthesis of CdSe QDs is 500C with color varying from blue to orange color.
Larger size QDs (orange color) can be obtained in a reasonable time period by changing the reactant concentrations.
