With high quality and in high yield: The synthesis presented here affords CdSe and CdTe semiconductor nanocrystals without the need of a precursor injection. It allows the detailed control of the size and shape of the nanocrystals, as can be seen from the tetrahedral CdSe nanocrystals that have been prepared (TEM image). The method is suitable for industrial-scale preparations.
