Abstract We reported a facile route for overcoating CdS and ZnS shells around colloidal CdSe core nanocrystals. To synthesize such double shelled core/shell nanocrystals, first, CdSe core nanocrystals were prepared in a much “greener” and cheap route, which did not involve the use of hazardous and expensive trioctylphosphine. Then, a low-cost and labor-saving route was adopted for the CdS and ZnS shell growth with the use of thermal decomposition of commercial available air stable single-source precursors cadmium diethyldithiocarbamate and zinc diethyldithiocarbamate in a non-coordinating solvent at intermediate temperatures. Powder X-ray diffraction patterns and transmission electron microscopy images confirm the epitaxial growth of the shell in the core/shell nanocrystals. The photoluminescence quantum yield of the resulting CdSe/CdS/ZnS core/shell nanocrystals can be as high as 90% in organic media and up to 60% after phase transfer into aqueous media. By varying the size of CdSe cores, the emission wavelength of the obtained core/shell nanostructures can span from 554 to 636 nm.
