Abstract

A green and mild synthesis of colloidal zinc oxide nanocrystals in ethanol/dimethylformamide mixtures was introduced which allows to produce stable crystalline ZnO particles and tailor their average size in the range of 2.8−4.5 nm by varying temperature and duration of post-synthesis ageing. An increase in dimethylformamide fraction in the mixture results in acceleration of ZnO nanocrystals ripening. Colloidal ZnO nanocrystals emit broadband photoluminescence in the range of 2−3 eV with the quantum yields of up to 12 %.
