molar ratio on the morphology of water-soluble thiol-stabilized CdTe nanocrystals. By only
changing the precursor Cd/Te molar ratio, highly luminescent CdTe nanoparticles (NPs) and
nanorods (NRs) can be prepared selectively in the presence of the same concentration
single ligand (l-cysteine or thioglycolic acid) system. A high precursor Cd/Te molar ratio
leads to isotropic spherical growth, whereas a low Cd/Te molar ratio promotes the linear self …
