First, CuInS QDs with pyramidal chalcopyrite crystalline structure are synthesized at 215 °C (when Cu:In ≤ 1:2). Then, Cu⁺ and In³⁺ ions are partically replaced by Zn²⁺ in the CuInS QDs at 200 °C, leading to Cu and In defective (Zn)CuInS alloyed QDs. Last, coating ZnS shell onto (Zn)CuInS alloyed QDs to obtain (Zn)CuInS/ZnS core/shell QDs at 220 °C.
