Aqueous phase Cu doped ZnSe (ZnSe:Cu) quantum dots (QDs) stabilized with mercaptopropionic acid were prepared, and thiourea was used as a surface modifier to obtain core-shell ZnSe:Cu/ZnS QDs. QDs had a sphalerite structure, were uniformly dispersed, had an average particle size of approximately 5 nm and an emission peak at around 460 nm. After thiourea modification, a wide band-gap ZnS shell was coated on the QDs to passivate the surface, reduce surface states, and significantly improve fluorescence intensity. Thiourea modified ZnSe:Cu/ZnS QDs exhibit better surface passivation, fluorescence efficiency, and stability than those of other surface modifiers like Na₂S and thioacetamide. Quantum yields were further improved after UV irradiation eliminated surface dangling bonds.
