probes for biological and biomedical imaging. CuInSe2 is a good candidate for these
applications due to its bandgap in the near-infrared and the reduced toxicity of its
components compared to other NIR QD materials (CdTe, CdHgTe, PbS, etc.). Here we
present a simple one-pot synthetic route without injection to make fluorescent sphalerite Cu−
In− Se core and Cu− In− Se/ZnS core/shell QDs. We show that the photoluminescence (PL) …
