Procedure

The same procedure of synthesis was used. The variac this time was set on 17/100 to match a temperature around 30C. I added only 25microliter of NaOH this time, so the pH was set around 9 as it is supposed to be according to the paper I attached earlier last week.

Dr. Hartings asked to collect through precipitation. When I worked on the QDs last year, about 200mL of chilled ethanol was added to the mixture of about 70mL. The mixture I have now is around 12mL so I only added 17ml of ethanol to 6mL of the solutions (one prepared from HgCl2 and the other from HgNO3).
