A one-step method was developed for the synthesis of thioglycolic acid(TGA)-capped CdTe quan- tum dots(QDs) in an aqueous medium when tellurium dioxide worked as a tellurium source and hydrazine hy- drate acted as a reductant. The influence of experimental conditions, including refluxing time, molar ratio of tellurium to cadmium and molar ratio of TGA to cadmium, on the growth rate and luminescent properties of the obtained CdTe QDs were systematically investigated. Furthermore, the obtained QDs were characterized by fluorescent spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Ex- perimental results indicated that the growth time and the relative quantities of reactants impacted the growth rate and optical properties of QDs. The proposed method enables us to obtain cubic CdTe QDs with high photo- luminescence quantum yield( up to 26% ) and a broad emission color tunable from green to red.
