Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) XRD pattern of the synthesized CQDs/CdSe NCs, which aligns well with the JCPDS reference of CQDs and CdSe. (b) HRTEM image of the synthesized NCs, revealing the interfacial interaction between CQDs and CdSe. (c) Inverse fast Fourier transform of CQDs and CdSe with the respective d -spacings. (d) Plot profiles of CQDs and CdSe and the calculation of lattice spacings in CQD/CdSe. (e) SAED pattern of the as-synthesized NCs denoting the hkl values of CdSe. (f) EDAX spectra of NCs validating the presence of Cd, Se and C. Deconvoluted XPS spectra of (g) Cd 3d, (h) Se 3d, (i) O 1s and (j) C 1s of CQDs/CdSe.
Article Snippet: The crystal plane spacing, morphology and selected area electron diffraction (SEAD) pattern were visualized using a JEOL (Japan) JEM-2100 Plus high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) at a voltage of 200 kV.
