Abstract
A method for preparing semiconductor nanocrystals is disclosed. The method comprises adding a precursor mixture comprising one or more cation precursors, one or more anion precursors, and one or more amines to a ligand mixture including one or more acids, one or more phenol compounds, and a solvent to form a reaction mixture, wherein the molar ratio of (the one or more phenol compounds plus the one or more acids plus the one or more amine compounds) to the one or more cations initially included in the reaction mixture is greater than or equal to about 6, and heating the reaction mixture at a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to produce semiconductor nanocrystals having a predetermined composition. Methods for forming a buffer layer and/or an overcoating layer thereover are also disclosed. Semiconductor nanocrystals and compositions including semiconductor nanocrystals of the invention are also disclosed. In certain embodiments, a semiconductor nanocrystal includes one or more Group IIIA and one or more Group VA elements.
