The preparation of the selenide organometallic precursor, trioctylphosphine selenide, was done by dissolving 0.1 mol of a selendie shot in 100 ml of trioctylphosphine, therefore resulting in a 1M solution of trioctylphosphine selenide. Dimethylcadmium was used as the other organometallic precursor. The CdSe quantum dots were synthesized via the pyrolysis of dimethylcadmium and trioctylphosphine selenide in the co-ordinating trioctylphosphine oxide solvent. Precursors were injected at 350oC and dots were grown at 290oC. Selective size precipitation was performed with methanol to collect the quantum dots as powders, then quantum dots were redispersed in hexane. 5g of trioctylphosphine oxide was heated until it reached 190oC under a vacuum and
