The invention discloses a method for continuously preparing
quantum dots through a microchannel reactor and belongs to the field of
chemical engineering. The
quantum dots are
cadmium selenide mononuclear
quantum dots or
cadmium selenide /
zinc sulfide nuclear shell type quantum dots. The method comprises the steps of heating a prepared
cadmium precursor solution and a
selenium precursor solution to the
reaction temperature, then mixing the solutions, and conducting a reaction, so that a solution of
cadmium selenide quantum dots small in grain size is obtained; continuously adding the cadmium precursor solution, and making the
cadmium selenide quantum dots small in grain size grow, so that a solution of
cadmium selenide quantum dots large in grain size is obtained; or mixing the solution of the cadmium
selenide quantum dots small in grain size with a prepared
zinc sulfide precursor solution at the
room temperature, and then heating the mixture to the
reaction temperature for a reaction, so that a cadmium selenide /
zinc sulfide nuclear shell type
quantum dot solution is obtained; then conducting post-treatment on the
quantum dot solution, so that the cadmium selenide nononuclear quantum dots or cadmium selenide /
zinc sulfide nuclear shell type quantum dots are finally obtained. The preparation method is simple in operation and accurate to regulate,
continuous production can be conducted, and the method is beneficial to industrialized production of the quantum dots.
