Synthesis of BBN-SeH and its application to ZnSe QD growth. (a) Two-step synthesis of BBN-SeH. (b) Scheme for BBN-SeH based ZnSe QD growth involving in situ production of BBN-SeH. (c) Identification of the induction temperature (Tind) of BBN-SeH upon the addition of c-LBs by monitoring the first absorption peak position of ZnSe QDs during growth. (d) Influence of c-LBs with varying BF3 affinity (ΔH) on Tind (red: dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), orange: 1-methylpyrrolidine, green: picoline, blue: 3-chloropyridine (3-ClPy), purple: 4-(trimethylfluoro)-pyridine (4-CF3Py)). (e) Absorption spectra of ZnSe QDs during growth using BBN-SeH and picoline and (f) Evolution of the half width at half-maximum (HWHM) of the first absorption peak during growth.
