The present disclosure provides a
Group II-VI core-shell
quantum dot and a preparation method therefor. A
quantum dot shell having a gradient
alloy structure is gradually grown by using a precursor that has a reactivity gradient. The gradient
alloy structure has a
band gap that gradually increases from inside to outside, thereby solving the problem of difficulty in epitaxial growth caused by a decrease in the surface activity of a
quantum dot along with an increase in the size thereof. By using
zinc halide and octanethiol to regulate
crystal facets, the proportion of polar facets on the surface of the
quantum dot is increased, and the stability of the
quantum dot is significantly improved. Moreover, provided is a low-
cadmium quantum dot core. A hot-injection method is used to perform
nucleation and growth of ZnSe at a high temperature, a
cadmium precursor is then added after the stable
nucleation of ZnSe, and
cadmium /
zinc ion exchange is performed by utilizing the
binding energy of
selenium / cadmium that is stronger than that of
selenium /
zinc, thereby forming a CdZnSe ternary core, which can solve the problem of it being difficult for blue-light quantum dots that use CdZnSe as a light-emitting core to cover the pure
blue band.
