Disclosed herein are compositions of core/shell nanocrystal quantum dots and one-step synthesis. In a specific embodiment, a method of making nanocrystals comprises mixing at least one cationic precursor, at least one anionic precursor, and at least one solvent to form a mixture, heating the mixture, and precipitating the mixture to form a nanocrystal. A precipitate, and the nanocrystal precipitate is separated. The formed nanocrystals contain an outer shell of the inner core of the package and have a large amount of crystallinity, monodispersity, and reproducibility. |
