Methods for the non-hot-injection synthesis of semiconductor nanocrystals are described. For example, a multi-podal cadmium selenide nanocrystal may be produced by a method including heating a degassed mixture comprising cadmium oxide, selenium, trioctylphosphine, and a carboxylic acid in a non-coordinating solvent from about room temperature to about 210&#xb0; C., where the multi-podal cadmium selenide nanocrystal may be a tetrapodal cadmium selenide nanocrystal.

Methods of producing cadmium selenide multi-pod nanocrystals

The present application relates to polymer-conjugated quantum dots. The quantum dots can include, for example, an inorganic core conjugated to a polymer. The quantum dots may, in some embodiments, be water-soluble and exhibit superior photoluminescence. Also disclosed are methods of making and using the quantum dots.
