Graphical Abstract:
 In this paper we present experimental results on preparation and characterization of colloidal CdSe quantum dots in organic solvent. CdSe QDs were synthesized following a modified literature method.
CdSe QDs were isolated by adding acetone to the cooled solution followed by centrifugation.
CdSe QDs have been characterized by UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescent (PL) spectroscopy. The average CdSe particles size estimated from the UV-Vis absorption spectra was found to be in the range 2.28-2.92 nm which is in good agreement with PL measurements.
