Synthesis and bio-imaging application of highly luminescent mercaptosuccinic acid-coated CdTe nanocrystals.

Here we present a facile one-pot method to prepare high-quality CdTe nanocrystals in aqueous phase. In contrast to the use of oxygen-sensitive NaHTe or H(2)Te as Te source in the current synthetic methods, we employ more stable sodium tellurite as the Te source for preparing highly luminescent CdTe...
