Colloidal Quantum Dots: 2. Methods for the Synthesis of Colloidal Quantum Dots

Various currently known methods for producing quantum dots are described in detail, including the most promising method of high-temperature colloidal synthesis (HTCS). Using the HTCS technique, it is possible to cope quite well with the task of obtaining a relatively perfect structure of colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) and achieve record-breaking narrow size distributions of CQDs. During the synthesis of nanoparticles, high-temperature annealing of their structure occurs. That is why this method has become so widespread and caused such a rapid increase in publication activity.
