Tri-n-octylphosphine is used for coating zinc sulfide shells on cadmium-selenium quantum dot core by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method. It acts as a precursor to trioctylphosphine oxide. Further, it is used as a solvent for cadmium and selenium precursors. It also serves as a common reagent in the chemical synthesis of nanoparticles. It acts as a precursor to trioctylphosphine oxide.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
