HgTe CQDs prepared via alternate precursors. a, b TEM images of HgTe CQDs synthesized using the TMS:Te precursor. The high reactivity of the TMS:Te precursor is thought to reduce faceting of the CQDs particles and exhibit a spherical shape at all sizes. c Absorption and d PL of HgTe CQDs synthesized without thiol ligands
