Abstract

A microcapillary flow reactor has been used to prepare a size series of colloidal CdSe nanocrystals (NCs). The continuous‐flow method (see Figure for schematic) produces samples with size distributions and quantum yields comparable to those prepared in conventional batch processes. The results obtained from the reactor provide insight into the kinetics of nucleation and growth for NC systems.
