Abstract
Highly luminescent nanostructures, particularly highly luminescent quantum dots, comprising a nanocrystal core are provided. Also provided are methods of increasing the sphericity of nanostructures comprising subjecting nanocrystal cores to an acid etch step, an annealing step, or a combination of an acid etch step and an annealing step.
