Well-dispersed CdSe particles showed two absorption bands at the region of 431-34 and 458-60 nm in optical absorption study. A band-edge emission resulted at 515 nm with an excitation energy of 400 nm, in its photoluminescence (PL) spectrum. Similarly, UV-visible absorption study of CdTe revealed an absorption band at &lt; 700 nm. The broadened X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern showed that at higher reaction temperature cubic CdSe but hexagonal CdTe can be obtained with crystallite size of &lt; 10 nm. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that agglomerated particles are of spherical nature. The inter-planar spacing in CdTe was measured to be 0.406 nm, a characteristic of (100) lattice plane in hexagonal CdTe. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed that CdSe NCs have better air stability stable than CdTe. Presence of organic moiety around the semiconductor particles was confirmed by infrared (IR) spectroscopy.</p>10aChemical synthesis10aphotoluminescence10aSemiconductors10aSurface capping1 aKhanna, P., K.1 aRao, Srinivasa1 aPatil, K., R.1 aSingh, V., N.1 aMehta, B., R.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/one-pot-synthesis-oleic-acid-capped-cadmium-chalcogenides-cde-e-se-te-nano-crystals-0
