Features of formation of CdSe nanoparticles in aqueous sodium polyphosphate solutions

A study was carried out on the features of formation of stable aqueous colloidal solutions containing CdSe nanoparticles stabilized by sodium polyphosphate resulting from a reaction between cadmium chloride and sodium selenosulfate. The major parameters determining the size of the CdSe nanoparticles are the reaction medium temperature and the ratio of the starting reagent concentrations. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i éksperimental’naya Khimiya, Vol. 42, No. 2, pp. 102–106, March–April, 2006.
