Abstract

Mercaptoacetic acid (MMA)-capped ZnSe (ZnSe-MMA) core-shell nanocrystals have been prepared by two-step hydrothermal method using Se and Zn(NO3)2 aqueous solution as precursor. The as-prepared ZnSe are zincblende structure with grain size of 4 nm. The MMA-capped ZnSe nanocrystals are more stable and can be preserved long time without oxidation in the air. The ZnSe-MMA core-shell nanocrystals show good absorption for the ultraviolet light.
