Method of preparing fluorescent nanoparticles

Abstract

Disclosed is a method of preparing fluorescent nanoparticles of ZnSeS(0<x<1) comprising: mixing selenium powders, and sulfur powders with octadecylene, heating and stirring the mixture to dissolve the selenium powders, and the sulfur powders, and then cooling the mixture to give a first precursor solution comprising selenium and sulfur elements; mixing zinc oxide, oleic acid or lauric acid, octadecylene, and benzophenone, heating and stirring the mixture to dissolve the zinc oxide to give a second precursor solution comprising zinc element; adding the first precursor solution into the second precursor solution to undergo a reaction at a temperature of from 270° C. to 290° C. for a time of from 5 min to 10 min; pouring the reaction solution into a polar organic solvent to precipitate a raw product; washing and isolating the precipitate by centrifugation, and then dissolving the isolated materials with a non-polar organic solvent to give nanoparticles of ZnSeS(0<x<1).
